Taking Control of Mobile Contactless Payments

whitepaper mobile Bell ID provides a white paper that asks fundamental questions about the area of mobile contactless payments and explains why this payment mechanism is due to break through to mass market use and what the implications are for key industry players and specific industry sectors. Particularly important for key participants is “who wants to exert control and influence in the mobile contactless payments area”.

This whitepaper outlines why this is a key question for 2013 and how can that be achieved; what “taking control” involves both in terms of application, device and security management for key industry players (i.e. mobile network operators, financial institutions, their processor and personalisation bureaus) and for consumers of the financial institutions and mobile network operators.

It looks to dispel the myths around the need for a single Trusted Service Manager (TSM) and that those wishing to keep control of their own consumers and their customers’ data can do so.
