Mobile Payment Takes Lesson from Credit Industry
by Jack Jania, Ryan Hughes, Toni Merschen and Gordon Beatty
The credit card industry in America has backed itself into a corner - the rest of the world moved to EMV while the U.S. drug its feet. The US is now the only G20 country not utilizing chip and PIN or contactless payment solution. The mobile payments industry is careening down a similar path. Each player in the mobile payment space is vying for control over the consumer and, in the end, profit. It is beneficial to have so many solutions to meet different consumer needs, but they must be backward and forward compatible with the ability to easily integrate into all available MNOs, FIs and other third party outlets. An open system where all of these payment methods can work together is essential to the mass adoption and success of mobile payments. This panel will discuss the history of payment (focusing on credit card use as it applies to mobile payment), security issues, open systems/competing solutions and hurdles facing the industry. This session is part of the Big Data Track sponsored by Gemalto.

Not Just Tech Support: Online in India
by Archana Prasad, Nandu Madhava, Sean Blagsvedt, Sonny Caberwal and Anshuman Bapna
Most people immediately think of “outsourcing” when you mention technology businesses in India. However, there is a reason that Facebook, Zynga, GroupOn, LinkedIn, and a wave of other Web 2.0 businesses have recently opened offices in India – and no, it isn’t solely for outsourced technical support.
There are an estimated 100+ million Indians currently online, and with advancements in 3G mobile networks, that number is estimated to double over the next 2 years. The Indian market for internet services looks similar to the USA circa 1999, with several key differences – namely the preference for accessing the internet over lost cost mobile devices and payment methods that are not credit-card based.
In our SXSW panel last year, we brought you several start-up CEOs, angel investors, and a New York Times columnist to share their experience with capturing the Indian opportunity. If you create online or mobile services, and have a goal of reaching a massive user base, then you can’t miss attending our 2012 panel!

No Wallet? No Problem. Enter Mobile Payments.
by David Berkowitz, David Messenger, Jeff Miles and Jaymee Johnson
The days of having that lump of a wallet in your back pocket or forgetting your wallet at home are over. Consumers around the world could generate as much as $50 billion in sales through NFC-based mobile payments by 2014, according to Juniper Research. Google already has merchants like Macy’s and The Container Store is using Google Wallet, powered by NXP’s secure NFC chips, to increase engagement and offer deals to consumers. And Austin, our very own home of SX, is among the initial launch markets of ISIS’ NFC-driven mobile commerce trial. American Express, while recognizing the value of NFC, currently sees the technology as smoke and mirrors because it’ll take several years before the possibility of mass adaptation because of the limit and requirements of its reach. American Express’ stance is that the mobile payments ecosystem needs to look at products that are technology agonistic and as open as possible. Hear from panelists across the mobile payments ecosystem about the challenges of increasing adaption of this new technology and how to address them.

Credits Coins Cash: Social Currency & Finance 2.0
by Ren Reynolds, John Corpus, Ellie Wheeler, Jeremy Nusser and Vincent Higgins
While Second Life and other online worlds have propagated virtual economies with their own "millionaires", 2011 saw virtual currencies break into the marketing mainstream. Facebook Credits were launched with the backing of brands including Walmart and Zynga; Google Wallet was announced and BitCoin rose, then fell, then rose then – who knows? As we enter 2012 the question ‘what is currency?’ has never been more relevant for so many people. And more applicable to marketers, how does our understanding of the 4 P's (product, price, promotion, place) change in a world of virtual currencies? This is both a philosophical and highly practical question: if you buy something with Microsoft points – have you really bought it? How much did you pay? What if you are hacked or get kicked off the platform – it is still yours?This panel will examine the state of virtual currency, where it is heading, and consider how marketers should be evolving their strategies to account for virtual currencies.

This panel will offer an in-depth look into the rise of financial tools available in the cloud and on mobile.

With the social web, ecommerce and mobile offerings infiltrating our financial lives on a daily basis, consumers are more empowered than ever. With the click of a mouse or a swipe of a Smartphone, we can buy or sell items, make or lose money in an instant.

Small businesses can flourish within minutes on the Web, and consumers can thoroughly analyze their personal flow of money with effortless online tools. So what do all of these developments mean for businesses, consumers and everyone in between? This panel will explore the future of payments, purchases and financial tools that will empower consumers and fuel small businesses throughout the digital age.

How the Wallet Was Won: The End of Paper Receipts
by Colleen Taylor, David Barrett, Jae Kim and Scott Brady
Our wallets are one of the last remaining bastions of a pre-digital lifestyle, relics of an era of payment that has since come and gone.
Coupons are now Groupons, rewards cards are digitally stored on our smartphones and Square wants to power all our payments. With all these new ways to slim down and streamline our wallets, why are we still getting a paper receipt every time we check out at the grocery store? With so much progress, why are men still sporting the infamous Costanza bulge and women toting around pocketbooks that look like small filing cabinets? As more commerce shifts from offline to online, and even offline retailers are experimenting with digital marketing & transactions, the Costanza wallet is due for a makeover.
What are the brands and startups that are changing how we think about receipts? What will the implications of Big Data and privacy be in this transition? And what systems will ultimately come to define how we all chronicle our shopping experiences moving forward?
Our wallets have been ceding themselves over to the digital age for quite some time now. It’s about time we took that final leap and made the upgrade to Wallet 2.0.
