Rating: Buy

A value-add player in the mobile payment market

Investment Highlights:

Nxt-ID, Inc. (Nxt-ID) is a biometrics and authentication company focused on the

growing m-commerce market with an innovative MobileBio™ suite of biometric

solutions that secure mobile platforms. The Company also serves the access control

and law enforcement facial recognition markets.

Mobile Payments: IDC predicts that mobile payments globally will account for

US$1 trillion in 2017, up from the 2015 figure of just below US$500 billion. The

majority of mobile payments today are related to mobile commerce transactions,

with remote payments being the most widely used. Whereas mobile payments in

North America and Europe are driven largely by systems that are linked to debit and

credit cards, the limited state of card adoption in Asia/Pacific forces potential mobile

payment behavior to shift to usage of bank account–linked mobile wallets.

Positioned in growth markets: Nxt-ID is focused on products, solutions, and

services that have a need for biometric secure access control. Nxt-ID has three distinct

lines of business that they are currently pursuing: mobile commerce; law enforcement

and biometric access control applications.

The Future of Mobile Payments; Robust Growth for Mobile Payments Predicted but Security Concerns Act as Potential Inhibitor

The Future of Mobile Payments; Robust Growth for Mobile Payments Predicted but Security Concerns Act as Potential Inhibitor

Point Roberts WA, NEW YORK, NY – November 9, 2015 - Investorideas.com, a global news source covering leading sectors including tech, reports on the rapidly growing mobile payment sector in the US and some of the key challenges it faces in increasing consumer acceptance and adoption.

Investor Ideas recently attended the Money20/20 2015 Conference held at the Venetian in Las Vegas, one of the largest events covering payments and financial services innovation. From keynotes to panel sessions, to product launch tracks, the audience was told over and over about the robust growth anticipated in mobile payments over the coming years.  

One of the experts speaking was Bryan Yeager Analyst at eMarketer Inc. (www.emarketer.com) who presented a session track, Market Overview: Mobile Wallets & Payments, t talked about the robust growth of mobile payments in the US. His firm says Mpayment transaction values will triple in 2016. In terms of mobile payment user growth it is projected to grow to 37.5 million users in 2016, up 62%.

In spite of the tremendous growth there are a few factors that are acting as inhibitors and as Bryan Yeager framed it in in his presentation, the most notable is “Security, Security, and Security.”

He cited that “57% of US internet users cited security concerns the main reason they were hesitant to use mobile payment services.”

(Walker Sands, Dec. 2014)

He also noted “62% of US smartphone owners that don’t use or plan to use a mobile wallet cited worries about security as the reason.”

(Chadwick Martin Bailey, June 2015)

ID Global Solutions Corporation (IDGS), a company focused on fraud management and global payment solutions, recently announced the launch of IDComplete to address security issues in the sector.

IDComplete is a highly secure, encrypted, real-time, multi-user, out of band, pin-based verification solution to prevent card fraud.

IDComplete utilizes a secure encrypted irreversible tokenization process with multi-factor authentication to enable secure real-time cardholder verification.

IDComplete enhances the security of physical card and digital token transactions providing consumers the ability to authorize or decline card present and card not present transactions in real-time using their registered smartphones.

Mr. Thomas Szoke, Chief Executive Officer of ID Global Solutions Corporation said, "The best way to alleviate consumer security concerns regarding payment solutions is to allow them to perform real-time authorizations for their transactions.”

Wocket smart wallet review:  Wocket Wallet: The Only Card We’ll Ever Need

Wocket Wallet: The Only Card We’ll Ever Need

By Jennifer On October 7, 2015

Ever since my husband’s identity was stolen 6 years ago, we’ve been dealing with ramifications and fall out of the thieves actions… and sort of living in fear of it happening again. And since the hubs has been back on the road long-haul trucking, that worry has increased. He’s had cash stolen out of his truck, but so far we’ve managed to escape another serious incident. When NXT-ID asked if I’d be interested in checking out their smart wocket wallet, the answer was a resounding YES!

Let me tell you. I was pleasantly surprised with just how cool and effective this “Wocket” is!

So now you’re probably asking yourself, “What the heck is a Wocket Wallet???”. Well, let me tell you! The wocket is a smart wallet designed to help regular people like us, keep our money and identities protected. It’s basically mobile security for the mobile world. Your Wocket will actually replace your entire wallet! There is no need to try to juggle two separate wallets. The Wocket comes equipped with convenient slots so you can still carry cash and other essentials, like your license . The personalized WocketCard automatically transmits any card you choose including debit, credit and store loyalty cards. Practically any card with a magnetic strip can be added to your Wocket!

So just how does the Wocket work?

When you order your Wocket Wallet, you will receive a package containing the Wocket, a card with your name on it, the Wocket Accessory, Card Reader and USB charging cord. It also comes with a nice leather case that is removable for charging purposes. To charge, you connect the charging cord to a USB Port and plug it in. Once your Wocket is fully charged you’ll be good to go for at least 6 months.

Your Wocket is super easy to set up…

https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=1&v=WWkQlZhQjio

It took us less than 10 minutes to set up the Hubs new Wocket Wallet. He’s been using it for a couple of weeks now and he’s impressed! It’s easy to switch between his debit card and loyalty cards, and the physical cards are safely secured here at home!

Wocket® is the smartest wallet you’ll ever own. Designed to protect your identity and replace your old wallet, simply swipe and save your cards into Wocket once and they are immediately secured with pin and biometric voice print technology.  Without ever needing a smartphone, you can choose a card from the touch screen and Wocket programs its single, smart card (Wocket Card) to match your selection. From there, you just swipe as you normally would virtually anywhere that credit cards are accepted today.

All your credit, debit, loyalty, gift, ID, membership, insurance, medical information, passwords, and virtually any other information can be protected on Wocket®.

Wocket smart wallet review: Wocket Wallet: The Smartest Wallet You’ll Ever Own

Wocket smart wallet review:  Wocket Wallet: The Smartest Wallet You’ll Ever Own

October 2, 2015 by Glasgow Skinner

This blog post has been sponsored by #wocketwallet.  The company has compensated me via a cash payment, gift, or something else of value to review their product. Regardless, I only recommend products or services I use personally and believe will be good for my readers. #wocketsmartwallet #wocket

For years, we’ve carried a large, bulky wallet. Why do you ask? Because along with receipts, our credit and debit cards, we have amassed a collection of loyalty cards for almost everything. We have loyalty and frequent visitor cards for several airlines, supermarkets, restaurants and other eateries, beauty retailers, mass merchants, major retail stores, and so on, so of course we needed a wallet big enough to hold all of those cards. And because we carry all our loyalty and credit cards every single day, we always have to carry a large handbag (as you will see below, our wallet is not built for small purses). Thanks to the geniuses at NXT-ID, we will be able to reduce not only our wallet size but our handbag size as well. How? It’s all thanks to the wonderful creation of a digital wallet that is surely the world’s smartest wallet, Wocket Wallet.

If you’re like us and suffer from “overstuffed and/or over-sized wallet syndrome”, this Electronic Wallet is a must. Thanks to the WocketSmartWallet, we’re now in the market for something thin, like a card holder or leather billfold, just to carry cash and receipts, everything else goes into our Wocket Wallet. As we transfer all our giftcards, etc to this Ewallet, we still can’t believe how slimmer our usual wallet is becoming. It’s wonderful going from our huge wallet to the very compact Wocket Wallet. Everything was so easy to use and our inner techy gets very excited every time we use it.

The first time we used our Wocket Wallet was at the Supermarket. We usually take our entire wallet with us, but this time everything we needed – our debit cards and supermarket loyalty cards, were already programmed in the Wocket. The only additional card we brought along was our I.D. After inputting our security pin, we selected which card we wanted to pay with and swiped away. It took all our energy not to say “Holy Shit, this is awesome” out loud…well not too loud. Although we still have a few more loyalty cards to program in, we are off to a great start with Wocket.

What’s more, the WocketSmartWallet look very sleek as well. Aside from its thin shape, it also boasts an extra card slot, stitched leather detail, Smart Swipe technology, your name etched on the chic black card with gold trim, a physical signature strip like regular debit and credit cards, and the ability to unlock it with either a pin of your choice or with your voice thanks to its biometrically locked capabilities. Instead of carrying around 12 or more various debit, credit, or loyalty cards, you carry one Wocket card with all of your cards programmed by categories. For those of you that typically forget your numerous passwords, you can also safely secure them in your Wocket.

So say goodbye to HUGE, bulky wallets, and the constant fight to pull the card you need out of your wallet, and say hello smaller purses, any card easily available at your fingertips, and a more efficient way to pay with WocketSmartWallet.

Biometrics in the Payment Industry: “Almost Every Bank, Retailer, Payment Company is Looking at How to Incorporate Biometrics into their Future” - Peter O'Neill – FindBiometrics

Biometrics in the Payment Industry: “Almost Every Bank, Retailer, Payment Company is Looking at How to Incorporate Biometrics into their Future” - Peter O'Neill – FindBiometrics

Gino Pereira, CEO of NXT-ID (NASDAQ: NXTD) about Wocket smart walllet at Money 20/20

Point Roberts WA, NEW YORK, NY – November 6, 2015  - Investorideas.com, a global news source covering leading sectors including tech reports on the recent Money20/20 2015 Conference held at the Venetian in Las Vegas and the role biometrics will play in the future of the payment industry.

Money 20/20 is one of the largest events covering payments and financial services innovation and biometric technology was a key topic in many of the panel sessions, as well as being incorporated into many of the exhibiting technologies.

 

Bryan Yeager, an analyst at eMarketer Inc., in his presentation at Market Overview: Mobile Wallets & Payments referenced that, “The movie “Back to Future 2” featured biometrically authenticated payments in a scene where this guy asks Marty to thumb him $100 to save the clock tower. That shows they were looking at biometrics in payments back in 1985.”

Video Clip: Bryan Yeager, Analyst, eMarketer Inc. at Money 20/20

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pQfiD_T4iGs

The industry has come a long way and is now very much a part of reality as noted in the session, ‘Biometric Identity & its Applications in Financial Services & Payments’, moderated and introduced by Peter O'Neill, President, FindBiometrics.

Peter told an attentive audience, “Biometric technology is more popular than ever before. New advances in biometrics have allowed for massive proliferation.  All the big players are now involved;  Apple, Microsoft, Samsung, Google, MasterCard, USAA, Toyota, Visa, Facebook, Ford, General Motors, TD, Scotia, Royal, CIBC, Alibaba, Qualcomm, PayPal, Intel, and on and on and on.”

Commenting on the topic with Peter were some of the big names in the industry with speakers including Paul Burmester, CEO, Validsoft; Philippe Le Pape, VP Sales Director, Morpho (Safran); Bob Reany, Group Head & SVP, Identity Solutions, MasterCard; Rick Swenson, AVP Enterprise Fraud Prevention & Detection, USAA; and Conor White, President, Americas, Daon. They discussed how different biometric technologies including voice, face, fingerprint and iris recognition are enabling new applications in financial services and payments.

Investorideas.com also talked to one of the exhibiting companies at Money 20/20 focusing on biometric security for the payment sector. Gino Pereira, CEO of NXT-ID (NASDAQ:NXTD) shared how his company is taking a unique approach to payment technology. Unlike an Apple Pay, his company’s Wocket® is separate from a phone. Since security concerns are a key inhibitor to mobile payment adoption, he feels he is on the right track. 

They have also created dual authentication access with a combination of PIN and/or their voice recognition technology, VoiceMatch™.

Gino said, “All your information is stored in here - in this secure unit and as you select the items to pay, it programs one single card. In fact, it becomes a secure method by which you swipe and pay with the card of your choice.  If you lose it, there is no identifying information on your card so nobody can take your credit card number.  If you lose your Wocket®,  all your information is stored  securely so without the  alpha numeric pin or voice biometrics to gain access, there is no way you can take over my  Wocket. (www.wocketwallet.com).”

Peter O'Neill, President, FindBiometrics also noted in his introduction that since last year’s panel, the biometrics and finance market has evolved significantly. “The world’s most prominent mobile concerns have biometrically enabled M-payment platforms.  Apple Pay, Samsung Pay, Android Pay, PayPal and Alipay – major payment networks, have integrated biometrics into their offerings and banks have embraced biometrics for phone, mobile and ATM banking.”

Peter also said, “As data breaches continue to rise and as the password continues to prove totally ineffective and as the public yearns for a better, more convenient and secure way forward - almost every bank retailer and credit card company is looking at how to incorporate biometrics into their future.”
