An App Is Required To Transact Mobile Payments

Considering that a whole lot of folks, particularly younger ones, carry their phone almost everywhere and they know the truth it can be utilized to make payments, the pressure develops on ALL merchants to provide a remedy.

A slide show from Computerworld offers a primer on the numerous apps being utilized to complete mobile payments with Mobile phones. There are variants and not all of them use NFC technology, yet the message is clear: folks really want the convenience of being able to streamline their payment techniques in one place.

We encourage you to watch the slide show here.

At CARMick Products, we still see complexity and complication for the huge bulk of the buying public. While a specialized application utilized to pay at a location visited potentially numerous times a day can seem practical by itself, in general, having 50 apps to pay at the same number of merchants fails to thrill most people.

As a result, we expect wallet cards to remain in usage for many years yet, even if an action is taken to go from mag stripe to EMV / PIN. The consequence of that is that we see folks having a need to safeguard the RFID / NFC chips in the cards that will be issued, despite the fact they choose to NOT enable them. The fact our sleeves willl certainly safeguard the EMV chip and the mag stripe from wear and tear are really additional value from an already low-cost item.

As always, our 10-packs of credit card sleeves are offered through our listing on Amazon.
