    BREAKTHROUGHS IN THE EUROPEAN MOBILE PAYMENT MARKET White Paper Written by Laurent Bailly and Bernard Van der Lande Executive Summary Mobile payment has yet to fulfil its potential. The time is now right for the mobile phone to step up and become an everyday, convenient payment method. Technological advances, such as the new generation of mobile devices, the emergence of contactless payments, IP everywhere and 3G, coupled with the adoption of the new legal framework for payments and the creation of the Single Euro Payment Area (SEPA) means the future for mobile payment has never been more promising. Contents The future of mobile payment will likely belong to contactless technology Still in its pilot stage in Europe, Near Field Communication (NFC) contactless Executive Summary 1 payment is a huge opportunity for proximity payment, as it addresses both the cash and card payment markets.

  • When Collaboration Makes Sense – and When It Doesn’T
    When Collaboration Makes Sense – And When It Doesn’t By Eric Grover Digital Transactions September 30, 2018 Through the years, the network game hasn’t changed. Payment systems need volume, and that means interoperability with other networks. The key is to be smart about it. The payments world is a patchwork of overlapping and interdependent networks. For success, networks need a path or paths to critical mass. For most, leveraging directly competitive and adjacent systems is essential. In payments, network effects and habit matter enormously. The most feature-rich, secure, or cheapest payment system in the world is worthless if only one consumer or business uses it. By contrast, systems with billions of users are compelling, notwithstanding imperfections. To boost usage, networks partner, often ceding some control and economics. In free-market capitalism, no relationship, however one-sided, is consummated unless both parties calculate that they’ll profit. But payment-system relationships evolve based on changing relative power and interests. For example, imagine a world where 50% of Mastercard transactions were initiated over Apple Pay. Those able to shift payments share command better economics, so, at a minimum, Apple would take a bigger bite of interchange. While there are hundreds of national retail-payment schemes, only a handful of systems are or aspire to be global. Mastercard and Visa are the only genuinely planetwide retail-payment systems. They command the lion’s share of cross-border retail payments in every country except China, Iran, North Korea, Sudan, Syria, and the part of Ukraine occupied by Russia. Their open model leveraging tens of thousands of banks to deliver payments to end users has been the most successful payments-system strategy ever.

  • Paying by Mobile
    WHITEPAPER Paying by Mobile This whitepaper is an extract from: Mobile Payments Strategies & Markets 2007-2011 . information you can do business with White Paper ~ Paying by Mobile Paying by Mobile Introduction The user demand for convenient and intelligent ways in which to make payments for goods and services using a mobile phone is creating exciting opportunities for those organisations that are part of the mobile payment ecosystem. The ecosystem includes mobile operators, banks, retail merchants & transport operators, handset manufacturers (and their suppliers), and a whole range of new entrants eager to put their innovative mobile payment solutions into the hands of mobile phone users. Mobile payment applications and services are already available in most regions in a variety of formats, and where they are being adopted, either in trial or production mode, the user feedback has been very favourable. As is the case with other, older, payment schemes like cash, the current mobile payment market does not have a single, definitive, payment method and there is substantial variation between what particular scheme is adopted from region to region. Mobile payment schemes vary from the remote methods, such as Premium SMS schemes for paying for digital content dominating in Europe, to the physical, whereby, in regions such as the Far East and China, users take their mobile phone to the physical storefront to pay for goods via contactless credit/debit card schemes. This white paper introduces the reader to the main types of mobile payment schemes and investigates market drivers/constraints and forecasts for them. Mobile Payment Types As with the physical and virtual worlds there are many different and competing categories of mobile payments currently available.
