Get Out Your Phone, Not Your Wallet: Mobile Payments in the U.S. Moderator Edward Kountz Senior Analyst, Payments Research JupiterResearch

Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago 2007 Payments Conference May 10, 2007

Phones as wallets…have we been here before? Mobile Payments 1.0—1998-2002 The Vision: Payment tokens in mobile phones would be faster and more convenient than mag-stripe wallet cards, with additional services (such as location-based couponing) not presently possible. Trials ensued. “Cell phone fuel service launches in Lubbock, sparking traffic jams”—Cellenium, 3/12/02 The Reality: Outside of Asia-Pac, available offerings not able to support the vision. Back to the drawing board.

Mobile Payments 2.0—2005-present The Vision: Same as before…but faster, better & easier to use. The Reality: This time, it will be different. 2
