Mobile Payment App Support: Review, 2015
M2 - Fri Oct 09, 6:08AM CDT
Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/ssl3wk/mobile_payment) has announced the addition of the "Mobile Payment App Support: Review, 2015" report to their offering. Providing effective customer service on mobile is essential now more than ever. The problem is that a lot of companies don't spend enough time building experiences that are unique to mobile and instead just import solutions built for the desktop Web. This means an app will have FAQs that are not searchable (crucial on a small screen) and will require the user to leave the app to perform basic functions like sending a message to the customer service representative. This report presents a range of examples in four distinct categories of mobile app - Merchant, Prepaid, Mobile Wallet, and Mobile Banking. For this research, these apps were downloaded onto an Apple iPhone 6 and evaluated in August and September of 2015. Our evaluations are summarized in a table at the end of each section, with a consolidated set of findings at the end of the report. Many of these apps were featured in an earlier iteration of this report titled Comparing the Customer Support Delivered in Mobile Payment Applications, released in April 2014. The present report builds on the findings of that report, reviewing the key changes to some of the apps since last year. Again the focus of this report is exclusively the mobile app channel and not the desktop Web experience, which in many cases is far more full-featured. Merchant Mobile Applications The first category of applications reviewed here is retail apps built by merchants, namely Starbucks, Dunkin' Donuts, Amazon, and Walmart. This is an important category for payments because each of these players has the power to influence consumer behavior by introducing new technology solutions to their customers. Starbucks is the leader in in-store mobile payments thanks to the success of its app, a feat that Dunkin' is trying to replicate. Amazon is the online retailing juggernaut that is a major force driving the growth of card-not-present transactions through its mobile and online properties. Walmart, the giant of traditional big box retail, is making a renewed push to be the leader in e-commerce by leveraging its stores as distribution centers. Its mobile app is a great example of omnichannel retail execution; the app does everything from pinpointing exactly which aisle contains the next item on the user's shopping list while in-store to letting the user arrange for home delivery. Key Topics Covered: 1. Executive Summary 2. Introduction 3. Merchant Mobile Applications 4. GPR Prepaid Mobile Apps 5. Mobile Wallet Apps 6. Mobile Banking Apps 7. Deciding the Optimal Mobile Support Strategy 8.

2015 European Contactless Card Payments Landscape Featuring American Express, Cartes Bancaires, MasterCard & Visa Europe
M2 - Wed Oct 07, 6:07AM CDT
Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/dqc7l2/2015_european) has announced the addition of the "2015 European Contactless Card Payments Landscape" report to their offering. This latest research report, 2015 European Contactless Card Payments Landscape seeks to provide a better understanding of the European contactless card payment landscape by examining a number of critical factors, including the number of Visa, MasterCard, and American Express branded contactless debit and credit cards available across Europe, the number of contactless-enabled point-of-sale (POS) terminals, and more specifically developments in leading European contactless payment markets like the United Kingdom. In addition, this report considers the implications for the development of European mobile payment systems based on the growing popularity of contactless payment cards. Contactless payments have dominated European payments headlines for the better part of a year now and for good reason. A technology that has been sitting in plain sight has finally come good and consumers across Europe (but mainly in a few countries) are increasingly using their newly issued contactless card for more and more of their general spending, comments Tristan Hugo-Webb, author of the report. Highlights of the report include: - Overview of contactless payment technology and the different advantages it brings to different sections of the payments value chain - Estimates of the number of contactless-enabled debit and credit cards cobranded by Visa, MasterCard, and American Express across Europe between 2011 and 2015 - Estimates of the number of contactless-enabled POS terminals able to accept at least Visa and MasterCard across Europe between 2011 and 2015 Key Topics Covered: 1. Executive Summary 2. Introduction 3. Acceptance or Issuance? 4. Contactless Has Value for All Payment Chain Participants 5. The European Contactless Payment Landscape - Which Card Markets Constitute Europe? - Key Assumptions 6. The European Contactless Card Landscape: Network Statistics - Visa Europe - MasterCard - American Express - Other Networks 7. The European Contactless Card Landscape: Country Breakdown - Case Study: The U.K. 8. The European Contactless Terminal Landscape: Network Statistics 9. The European Contactless Terminal Landscape: Country Breakdown 10. Are Contactless Cards the Steppingstone to Mobile Payments? 11.

Future-Proofing Card Authorization - Analyse the Prevalence of False-Positive Declines in the U.S
M2 - Wed Oct 07, 3:28AM CDT
Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/b879dd/futureproofing) has announced the addition of Javelin Strategy & Research's new report "Future-Proofing Card Authorization" to their offering. This report will analyze the prevalence of false-positive declines in the U.S., discuss the impact of such declines, and explore solutions - particularly EMV and mobile - that can help improve authorization analytics. Fraud remains a serious danger in the U.S., but transactions wrongly declined due to suspected fraud - known as a false-positive - may represent just as big a threat. The report estimates that 15% of all cardholders have experienced a false decline in the past year, representing an annual decline amount of almost $118 billion. Unfortunately for issuers, a false-positive decline can seriously erode customer loyalty and pushes many consumers to abandon the issuer or merchant connected with the erroneous decline. Luckily, new technology such as EMV and mobile can help improve card authorization practices and reduce false-positive rates. This report will analyze the prevalence of false-positive declines in the U.S., discuss the impact of such declines, and explore solutions - particularly EMV and mobile - that can help improve authorization analytics. Key Questions Answered: - What is the total amount of money at stake in the U.S. in regard to declined transactions? - What channels are typically seeing the most declined transactions today? - What are issuers doing to improve card authorization practices? - How does mobile affect established authorization practices? - How will the upcoming EMV transition affect card authorization and related fraud trends? Key Topics Covered: 1. Executive Summary 2. Recommendations - Card Authorization: What's at Stake? - The Slow Rollout of EMV in the U.S. - A Changing Retail Landscape: In-Store, Online, and Mobile - A Balance Between Security and Innovation: Lessons From Apple Pay Fraud - Card Fraud Remains a Complicated Problem 3. False-Positive Card Declines Cast a Wide Net - Impact of False Positives - When False Positives Occur 4. Issuers Brace for the EMV Rollout - PIN Bypass Complications Arise From the Durbin Amendment - Looking Forward to Authorization Solutions - Shopping While Traveling: Leveraging Mobile to Decrease False Positives 5. Appendix Companies Mentioned - 3D Secure - American Express - Apple - BBVA Compass - Bank of America - Chase - Citibank - Discover - Early Warning - Google - MCX - MasterCard - Payfone - Samsung - Visa - Zumigo Corp.
