NXT-ID Inc. Media Alert: Connecticut Post Features Article on Wocket’s Impact on Smart Payment Industry

NXT-ID Inc. Media Alert: Connecticut Post Features Article on Wocket’s Impact on Smart Payment Industry

OXFORD, CT – January 30, 2015 (Investorideas.com Newswire) Investorideas.com reports that NXT-ID, Inc. (NASDAQ: NXTD ) is the feature on a Connecticut Post article published yesterday titled, “Makers of Smart Wallet out to Change Industry”.

The column, written by news columnist Hugh Bailey and posted on CTpost.com, details NXT-Id, Inc.’s foray into the smart payment industry and how Wocket™ is different from other payment options currently available (Google smart wallet, ApplePay).

Excerpt:

Makers of Smart Wallet out to Change Industry

Connecticut Post/CTPost.com

Hugh Bailey

The cellphone smartened up long ago. The wristwatch is the latest accessory to achieve "smart" status.

And if a local company is successful, technology fans will soon be talking about their smart wallets.

NXT-ID, which recently moved its headquarters from Shelton to Oxford, is preparing to ship by the thousands its Wocket, which company officials see as more secure and convenient than traditional wallets.

"What we did was to design the modern smart wallet," said Gino M. Pereira, NXT-ID's president and CEO. "We've seen the evolution of smartphone from regular cell phones, and we're starting to see smart watches. The Wocket is designed to be a replacement for the existing wallet."

The Wocket is a palm-sized device that can imprint the contents of any card -- credit, debit, loyalty or otherwise -- onto a reprogrammable card that is carried around and can be used like the original.

The company, which trades on the NASDAQ exchange under the symbol "NXTD," is preparing to ship thousands of Wockets from its production facility in Florida, and saw an enthusiastic response at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas this month.

"There's definitely a substantial market for what we're trying to do," Pereira said. "We've had very positive reviews so far."
