The Mobile Payments Conference

Earlier this year the mobile payments business shifted into a higher gear with the formation of Isis and the immediate success of the Starbucks mobile payment system, which proves that a “single brand” approach can work spectacularly.

In the spring the mobile wallet segment heated up with the launch of Google Wallet, aimed at local advertising, with a strategy shift by Isis towards a platform approach. All year, the terminal segment also got a boost from Square’s stunning success.

The second Mobile Payments Conference in New York will grow to feature a fuller look at wallet business models and transaction models, with additional attention to retailer strategies that have become more public, as well as a deeper look at the retail terminal perspective, now that some leaders now will strive to achieve a critical mass of users.
