Search Engine Marketing News | Starbucks Offers Mobile Payment Systems

The latest Search Engine Marketing News from Weboptimiser…

Starbucks has now rolled a mobile payment system out to all its 6800 company owned stores. This followed the Starbucks successful result of a mobile payment test in key stores.

This is a huge result for the me-economy. It is clear that we can expect substantial growth in the very near future, following this real world example. And I have an update on NFC technology in just a moment.

“This is a more convenient way to pay” said Starbucks vice president brady brewer.

The Starbucks app works on blackberries and iphones, with android to get its app soon.

Using phones with an app is an interim technology, the future is destined to be based on “near field communications” technology NFC as I mentioned a moment ago.

I understand there are some privacy people who scream No ******* Way – NFW.
We don’t want people taking money from us when we are near!

NFC is already popular and a proven technology in Asia where the phones already have the chips and the retailers already support them.

According to Juniper research mobile payments were $100m in 2010 and they are expected to reach $200m by the end of 2011.

If you would like more news like this please go ahead and subscribe now to make sure that you get the next update.

I heard that T Mobile, Verizone Wirelsee and AT & T recently announced plans for a joint venture called ISIS that provides NFC purchasing. Testing is expected to begin in 2012.

So it looks like NFC will win over NFW.

    How do mobile … How do mobile payments work? Is it payment through your phone bill or is it an app that connects directly to your bank account? How does Starbucks collect? I don’t see how this would be easier, unless I could order through the app and pay and have my coffee waiting for me without having to stand in line.

    A mobile payment is … A mobile payment is an ingenious concept. If the idea spreads to other companies, it could make debit and credit cards obsolete. Privacy is a concern, though. So, research into making mobile payment systems very safe is vital.
