Mobey Forum has today released a white paper entitled: ‘Control Points in Mobile Wallets’,which analyses how the rollout of the mobile wallet will be dictated by the various stakeholders involved in its development and deployment.

Simply providing consumers with the convenience and functionality of mobile wallet technology will not be sufficient to drive mass-market adoption, asserts Mobey Forum in a new white paper announced today. Entitled ‘Mobile Wallet – Definition and Vision’, the paper offers a new perspective on what will drive consumer take up and highlights how industry stakeholders need to work together to extend the user experience beyond that of a conventional wallet by providing ‘rich content’ that offers unique opportunities for users. 

Mobey Forum’s latest white paper highlights what needs to happen to make NFC contactless mobile payments at the point of sale (PoS) a mass market reality. As NFC technology continues to gain momentum, the study demonstrates how stakeholders can assess the different implementation options, define the business case and roles that will meet their requirements and establish a clear go to market strategy with essential partnerships.

This white paper will be of particular interest to all financial institutions, mobile network operators, handset manufacturers, operating system providers and any technical vendors operating in the NFC environment.
