Contactless Commerce Enables a World Beyond Payment Cards
Overview More than 10 million new payment cards issued in the U.S. in 2005 support contactless transactions, and the number of cards keeps growing. As contactless commerce gains acceptance, card issuers seek to extend the technology to alternate form factors such as key fobs, which offer greater convenience to consumers and can be personalized for individual tastes. One form factor that holds great potential is the mobile phone, which can readily support contactless payments and may eventually serve as a complete financial platform. However, many issues concerning the manufacture and distribution of alternate form factors must be resolved before they can be widely deployed. Early trials will reveal much about the market for these new physical forms of payment technology.
