...Wireless Payment – Wallet Share Introduction George would do anything to get rid of his wallet. It is heavy and creates an ugly bulge in his pocket. George has been to Japan where he saw locals using phones to seamlessly pay for everything including tolls, fares, groceries, and other expenses. So when Google announced their new Nexus 4 phone with the ability to touch and pay, George got really excited. George was one of the first people to get a mobile payment enabled Google Nexus phone and promised himself that he would never pick up his wallet again. What’s more, Google even showcased a new vending machine, in San Francisco, where George purchased a Coke using his new Nexus phone. George was on top of the world and very excited. He actively started looking for the universal mobile payment symbol at retailers so that he could plan his wallet-free shopping. Unfortunately even after owning his phone for a whole year, George is still carrying his wallet. Mobile payments are a subset of a larger electronic payments ecosystem, where payments are initiated using a mobile device. The history of mobile payments dates back to 1997, when Coke introduced the first touchless vending machines based on Simple Messaging Service (SMS) payments. Initially the system was used for simple tasks like downloading ring tones and buying movie tickets; payments were billed directly to the customer’s mobile account. The big push came from Asian countries like Japan and the Philippines...

... The Age of the Mobile Wallet A Paper Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for BUS500F: Business Marketing College of Business and Public Management Department of Marketing September 2015 Trend Identification: Today's digital technology is constantly evolving. A significant and popular financial trend that has taken over society is the use of Mobile Wallets. This technology allows you to pay for a product or service, using an application from your mobile phone at a Near Field Communication (NFC) reader. When the phone is held to the NFC, it will vibrate or beep to confirm payment. Customers have no need to carry cash, checks, or credit cards when there are apps such as Apple Pay that link directly to your bank account. Sounds easy enough, right? Many concerns from consumers and producers will arise from this Mobile Wallet. The most important being identity and financial fraud. I believe this new technology will affect all aspects of the market from production, to the final product, and certainly consumers. The way we pay for products and services has changed, leaving a decline in the need for physical currency. Will hard cash become obsolete? Or is this revolutionary trend just another fad? [pic][pic] According to Trendwatching.com, "Apple Pay saw 1 million cards registered in its first three days after launch. And by 2017, there are forecasted to be 450 million mobile payment users, up from...

...bitcoin work? Bitcoin is a peer-to-peer network, a set of protocols (standards for interoperability), client interfaces (called wallets) and a currency that operates on top of all of those technologies. The bitcoin system allows any person to send or receive a fraction of a bitcoin (the currency unit) to another person, anywhere in the world. The bitcoin system operates on the Internet without the need for banks or bank accounts and allows people to send money like they send email. To start using bitcoin, you need a bitcoin client, or "wallet" application. The bitcoin client allows you to use the bitcoin network, just like a web browser allows you to use the web. There are many different types and makers of bitcoin wallets, for desktop and mobile operating systems and also available as web applications. To receive bitcoin, you need a bitcoin "address", which is a bit like an email address or bank account number. If someone knows your bitcoin address, they can send you money, but cannot do anything more, not even identify who you are or where you are. Therefore, you can freely share your bitcoin addresses with anyone without fear or security risk. Once you have a "wallet," it can create any number of bitcoin addresses for you, even one per transaction. Give those addresses to anyone you want to send you bitcoin. Tip: bitcoin addresses are created by your wallet and do not need to be registered with anyone, or linked to your identity or email address. They can be used immediately to...
