Mobile Card Services
The fourth edition of the Mobile Card Services Playbook series, which is based on a survey of more than 9,500 U.S. consumers, focuses on respondents who never used mobile services but would like to do so. It digs into use cases in which consumers are particularly interested, the types of cards they would use and how they would apply different services to their partners, children and others they might entrust with linked credit cards. A vital resource about mobile payments.
