… 2 fundamental types of transaction players?
Transactions are the
Channel
”I have a pipe and/or network and I want to monetise the
investments I made in creating it.”
”I want as much to get through that pipe and the (mobile)
phones accessing it as possible.”
Transactions via the
Channel
”I have stuff I want to do via channels. Enable my consumers to
control their bank account, make a payment, get a ticket, see an
ad, save or use loyalty points, etc.”
”I need as many (cost effective) channels and pipes to do it.”
How shall we define “transaction”?

2 Popular Starting Points for Mobile Proximity Payments
Card Emulation Bypass Card Emulation
 Phone takes the place of a
physical card to transact at a
physical merchant location
 Consumers are comfortable
with card operating models
 Standardisation and ubiquity
of acceptance points a must
for economies of scale
 Requires compatible
card/mobile acceptance
infrastructure
 Trigger remote payment with
phone (apps, other manner)
 Confirmation can be pushed to
merchant, but how to localise
the payment location without
NFC?
 Receipt can be printed at POS
 Latency in making payment
this way vs. cards
 EMV / secure PIN keypad
 Card acceptance still required

What do we expect from a wallet?
 A place to store cash?
 A place to store payment
tokens?
 A place to store other tokens?
 A personal object?
 A private object?
 Something small enough to
be portable/mobile?
 … but … do we need a
physical object?
Then, what do we expect from a transaction device?
 Identification of myself, my
rights and capabilities,
memberships.
 Identification of myself, an
authentication tool for
payment.
 Secure, multi-factor
 Tamper-resistant/evident
 Personal and private
 Easy to use
 … but … do we need a
physical object?
 Consumers seem to love and trust it
• But who will pay for it’s implementation … merchants, banks, mobile
operators, handset manufacturers?
 Given the “app revolution” in so many of our markets,
what value does NFC bring to payments?
• Convenience?
• Put all cards in one apparatus?
The phone-shaped wallet ..
• Addiction to mobile phones, but
not to our wallets?
• Leave cards at home?
• Add value to transactions?
The Consumer’s Perspective on NFC?
 Cards seem to be entrenched in many markets (like NL),
and are likely to remain in play for the foreseeable
future, simply increasing the issuer and acquirer costs.
 But, is NFC is fundamentally different from previous
steps forward in functionality .. ?

 The case is clear for our creativity to make virtualised
ecosystems work.
 But it will take a lot more creativity, usability and value
to become a real business driver.
 And for banks, they also need to achieve this without
sacrificing trust, security, longer-term relationships,
and (a certain degree of) transparency.

Editor's Notes

  • #2 ContentsSome thoughts on paradigm shiftsRe-thinking the nature of transactions and transaction actorsProximity mobile payments: card emulation or not? 3 case studies from The Netherlands to validate consumer acceptance of NFCRebooting the conversation from a consumer point-of-viewWhat do we expect from a wallet, or a payment instrument?Is NFC a “tech-push’ or a “consumer pull’?How to differentiate with NFC?1 case study from Rwanda, where cards and card acceptance are virtually nonexistant
  • #3 So I was thinking about some of the old conceptions of “e-commerce” and the “e-wallet” that we used to have at Netscape and MCI (1994-1996), when we were first deploying HTTPS.
  • #4 MNOs tend to generate their revenues from “transaction-based business” (sale of SMS, data, voice calls), whereas margins on actual “transactions” for banks are thinning in most markets, and in some cases unprofitable in general.For banks, the question about the value of payments services is a burning one these days – especially for developed world banks, but also for the developing world as well.Deposit-taking and lending are major differentiating business lines of banks, although some MNOs and other parties are starting to make moves in this direction.
  • #5 “Pinnen met je mobiel” retail shopping and payments trial using contactless PIN (NL direct debit) from Aug 2007- Feb 2008 Payment with a secure application on the mobile phone (Samsung x700)Also featured storage of value for recycled bottles on the phone – save your value, cash it in or donate it.Highly successful trial, proven consumer acceptance/trust a mobile as secure debit card replacement.
  • #6 Proof-of-concept programme for NFC payment for soft drinks using MiniTixPartners: Capgemini, Coca-Cola, Rabo Mobiel, Yoonison, MiniTixBeginning in Apr 2007, 30 locations nation-wideProof-of-concept ‘Kroketjeuit de muur’ met je telefoon, Oct-Nov 2007 Capgemini, FEBO and Mertens GroupMiniTix NFC trial in Amsterdam (NFC mobile phones, cards)Proof-of-concept programme to explore cash management, saves coin traffic, fraud management
  • #7 Major Dutch retailer Albert Heijn wanted to trial a new retail formula in their “To Go” storesNFC shelf-level tag shopping, as customer filled her basketCustomer built up a list of what they were buying, and performed self-checkout without queuing at busy store countersDiscounts and specials applied automaticallyReceipt can be printed upon existOccasional control checks to validate purchases
