According to reports, MasterCard Incorporated (NYSE:MA) and Visa Inc. (NYSE:V) are both in favor of finding a solution to increase payment security, having imposed an October 2015 deadline for U.S. Banks and merchants to implement the smart card technology, similar to that of the Wocket™ smart wallet, which is used heavily in Europe, Asia and Canada.



"The recent high-profile breaches have served as a catalyst for much-needed collaboration between the retail and financial services industry on the issue of payment security," Ryan McInerney, president of Visa Inc., said in a statement this month. MasterCard is "aware of and investigating" reports of a potential breach, spokesman Seth Eisen told The Los Angeles Times. He said the company was communicating with its customers but could provide no details on information that may have been compromised or how many cardholders may be affected.

Google Inc. (NASDAQ:GOOG) also continues to improve its smart wallet technology, as Jason Oxman, CEO of the Electronic Transactions Assocation (ETA), called it an area with a potential for big growth. According to Kyle Spencer of Seeking Alpha, Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:AAPL) also appears to possibly be gearing up for an entrance into the world of mobile payments as the company recently reported on a collection of recent patents that appears to point to a massive rollout of an Apple payments system to rival PayPal.
