It just the matter of time when payments with the online currency will become as popular as using credit cards today.

The payments industry, facing the risk of increasingly sophisticated cyber-attacks and various types of credit card fraud, has begun incorporating various types of biometric technology to enhance security

As recently reported, Mastercard is launching a facial recognition payment service based on elfiestaken on a smartphone.

which is translated then into a code for confirmation of future payments. For now, Mastercard customers must still use a password

Mastercard stated that it also is working on a payment program based on voice recognition. Mastercard imminent transition to biometrics was preceded by Apple Pay launching in October 2014 of a biometric payment technology based on fingerprint ID. The newest iphone models are equipped with Apple Touch

ID fingerprint reader. And then there is Paypal, which has boosted security on its mobile app by using fingerprint sensors that are installed on some Samsung Electronics devices.

All in all the stage seems to be set for the large-scale adoption of biometric technology. While the payments industry is currently working full steam on various forms of biometric technology aimed at thwarting ever-increasing security breaches in payments technologies,

biometrics have been around for quite a while, and the technologies take different forms. Back in 1665, Marcello Malphighi was credited with the discovery of the unique patterns of fingerprints.

#The Apple Pay effect is real n-store mobile payments volume will top $800 billion in 2019 Mobile payments the use of phones to complete transactions in stores instead of cash

In an in depth report on mobile payments from BI Intelligence, we explain how a few US retailers account for the vast majority of over $4. 7 trillion in aggregate payment volume.

Many of these retailers have adopted already the technology necessary to accept mobile payments from Apple Pay and similar apps

It only takes a handful of these large retailers to drive an explosion in mobile payment volume

Explosive mobile payments growth: We forecast US mobile payment volume to grow at a five-year compound annual growth rate of 172%.

%Volume will rise to $818 billion by 2019, or just under 15%of total US payment volume.

Apple Pay is showing early signs of success: Payments made through Apple Pay accounted for between 0. 1%-1. 6%of transactions at five top retailers in the month following the launch of the feature.

Considering that the feature can only be used on the new iphones we think that's indicative of exceptional momentum.

Even with mediocre results, that adds up to a lot of payment volume in aggregate. Android mobile wallets are benefiting from Apple Pay:

Multiple sources confirm that Google Wallet saw a jump in payment volume following the launch of Apple Pay.

Forecasts US mobile payment volume from 2014-2019 and provides an in depth explanation of the assumptions and data behind the forecast.

#Will Payments On Facebook Be Successful? Facebook: The Social Graph Of Payments Today March 17th, 2015 Facebook has entered into payments in a very big way 1. This is perhaps the biggest news in this sector since its inception.

Much like Wechat a sort of Facebook of China along with Alipay with their hundreds of millions of users to send money via instant message.

To become a person to person payment system in the US the company must apply for

there has not yet been a person to person payment system centered around a communication platform. One could argue that Google system was a communication platform centered around Gmail,

The elements of the social graph, essentially your network of friends tied to payments is pure brilliance.

It turns out a vast majority of Facebook 500 million monthly users are logged on to Facebook Messenger with about 80 million payment cards on file.

With Facebook Payments, the entire system is built currently around the Messenger platform. Fundamentally person to person payments are a form of deep communication

and Facebook Messenger is a logical jumping off point. A vast majority of person to person payments begin with a conversation, perhaps already within messenger.

Thus with the press of the new $ icon and the entry of an amount, you can send money that will arrive to the recipient listed debit card within seconds.

How Does Facebook Payments Work? To use the system, the sender will need to associate a US based debit card with a Visa or Mastercard logo to their Facebook account.

Facebook is also using more recognized APIS that will have the ability in the future to also allow payments from credit cards using the full extent of systems like Visa VPP API 2. The system will also be able to easily scale to countries outside the US

I am rather certain we will see merchant payments using this platform as the primary, ultimate source of revenues for this system.

Now The Person To Person Payments Party Is Ready To Begin Facebook is entering into a market that has many existing solutions,

Google Paypal Venmo Square Banks And others It is very clear that a sort of shakeout will commence that will define competing products and perhaps remove a few products from the market.

Square Square Cash seems to be in a very vulnerable position before Facebook Payments 3 and

It is clear that Square is the current payment platform for Snapcash and currently this element of Square Cash is growing,

Paypal+Venmo Paypal and Venmo will see a challenge from Facebook Payments. There is no doubt about it.

There are many ways that Paypal and Venmo can stay vital and relevant because of the scale they have achieved already.

Banks Banks have been doing person to person payments via inter-accounts and intra-accounts for over two decades.

Banks have finally began to catch up to payment startups with useful and intuitive apps. There is also good reason to believe that banks are currently working on a system that is outside the ACH system

and will allow for instant person to person payments in the next 12 months. However, as it stands today, banks that have whole families

The simplicity of attaching payments like a document or a picture is quite genius. Google will need to lower costs

The other person to person payment products that are centered not around out of country remittances will face huge adoption issues and attrition.

Apple Will Enter Soon Finally Apple will become a huge part of Person to Person payments

Paypal, Google, and Square, Apple will not handle any payments themselves. High Likelihood Of Success There is little doubt that Facebook will be successful In person to Person payments.

If not just by the size of the user base and the utility this new feature will offer.

One can surmise that at some point, even though currently there is no revenue model from Facebook pavements,

there is a path where the cards on file will become a source for payments for products and services from merchants.

Thus, I predict revenues from payments to soar over time once the merchant payment system is activated.

The Payment isruptionera Is Now Officially Over In less then 12 months the entire payments landscape has changed forever.

Back in March 2012, I wrote Brian Roemmele answer to Who will enter the retail Payments market next?

Niklas Arvidsson, a researcher in industrial economics and management at KTH, says that the widespread and growing embrace of the mobile payment system,

"Cash is still an important means of payment in many countries'markets, but that no longer applies here in Sweden,

The result of collaboration between major Swedish and Danish banks, Swish is a direct payment app that is used for transactions between individuals, in real time.

Arvidsson says it is likely the country's entire payment system infrastructure will have to be revamped. That may not be as prohibitive an idea as it sounds.

With digital giro systems, early electronic payment services and other advances in online financial services, Swedish banks have been early adopters of advanced IT systems,

The success also depends on the Swedish consumer tradition of welcoming electronic payment services.""Besides simplicity and lower costs, digital payments also add transparency to the nation's payment system.

Several banks in Sweden already have digitalized 100 percent branches that will simply not accept cash."

In spite of its popularity, Sweden will still have to ensure that all people are able to participate in the new payment system,

Also, it can be a way to authenticate payments as a biometric. Instead of a fingerprint, it can scan eye topography

Apple s mobile payments system is still by far the most successful individual initiative we ve seen in the field so far

One such newcomer competitor may be Samsung which is in talks to launch an Apple Pay-style payments mechanism of its own according to Re/code.

#Adyen Raises $250m From General Atlantic To Expand Its International Payments Platform International payments startup Adyen is growing fast,

doubling the number of payments processed over the last year as well as revenues over that time.

Adyen has worked to enable payment solutions for companies seeking to offer their goods in an increasingly global marketplace.

Rather than relying on a combination of different banks and other payments processors for individual markets,

To enable that, Adyen has created a platform that allows companies to accept payments from basically anywhere.

as well as local payment processors around the world. Its platform works in nearly 200 countries, allowing partners to get paid in virtually any currency and through a wide variety of payment methods.

Finally through its platform payments can be accepted either online, via mobile devices, or even in store for businesses that have operations in multiple countries.

Due to the increasingly global nature of business, that attracted huge interest from a wide range of companies.

For companies using its payment network, it can simplify the process of accepting payments in multiple territories.

At the same time, it can also improve conversion rates in places where it supports local forms of payments

according to cofounder and CEO Pieter van der Does. That flexibility has led even some clients to sign up to address specific markets where they hoped to grow,

In addition to its payment network, Adyen has also been investing in offering a mobile point-of-sales system called Shuttle.

By growing both the size of its customer base and the number of payments it processes for them

Adyen will process nearly $30 billion in payments, van der does told me. That means revenues have doubled also in that time, to $185 million.
