Consumer interest in proximity mobile payments is nascent but growing
“How interested are you in paying for merchandise in a physical retailer store using your cell phone?” (Instead of cash or a debit/credit card, e.g., by tapping cell phone at the point of sale) 47% of US consumers are open to in-store mobile payments, a 17% YoY increase. Base: 3,842 US online adults (18+) (online monthly or more) with mobile phones; Source: North American Technographics® Retail Online Survey, Q (US) 9

The paradox of mobile payments
In theory, mobile payments could be used in almost any transaction scenario and displace established retail payment methods (e.g., plastic cards, notes and coins, and checks). In practice, there are few scenarios in developed markets where a mobile payment is the best alternative yet.

What is a digital wallet?
A digital service — accessed via the Web or a mobile application — that authorizes payment transactions from one or more payment sources and facilitates other commerce-related features such as offers, coupons, loyalty rewards, electronic receipts, and product information. 12

Digital wallets will revolutionize the consumer commerce journey.

Value-added services (VAS) enable “smart” commerce and deliver incremental value
VAS WILL EMERGE WITHIN MOBILE DIGITAL WALLETS FOR USE AT POINTS OF SALE Integrated automatic redemption Enhanced targeting and relevance Merchant-funded Bar code or QR code scans Product information and inventory availability Self-checkout via mobile; on-screen receipts Streamlined support of multiple payment systems and multiple payment product options Enhanced tracking and rewards Coupons and offers Enhanced product info Open payment Loyalty rewards

The barriers to digital wallet adoption are falling
Using mobile digital wallets in-store is a natural extension of existing behavior. Smartphone users already use their phones in-store to redeem coupons, look up product information, and compare prices. 16
17
Consumers are already using value-added services outside of the wallet

Trial of value-added services leads to repeat usage and adoption
Base: 365 US online adults (18+) (online monthly or more) who are cell phone owners and who selected any of the options above; Source: North American Technographics® Retail Online Survey, Q (US)
19
The barriers to digital wallet adoption are falling
Using mobile digital wallets in-store is a natural extension of existing behavior. Smartphone users already use their phones in-store to redeem coupons, look up product information, and compare prices. Software/cloud-based solutions present few barriers for consumers or merchants. Mobile technologies enable customers to pay in new ways via simple, cheap plug-in hardware and smartphone apps. Vendors are building solutions for faster, easier ways to offer and accept wallets. As consumer awareness grows, digital wallet adoption will ramp up. 19
20
Mobile digital wallet awareness is low and mainly just with established brands
“Are you aware of any of the following mobile payment solutions that allow you to pay for products and services via your cell phone/smartphone?” Base: 3,951 US online adults (18+) (online monthly or more) who are mobile owners; Source: North American Technographics® Consumer Deep Dive: Investigating The Customer Life Cycle (Discover Phase) Survey, Q (US) 20
21
Mobile digital wallet usage significantly lags awareness
“Which of these mobile payment solutions do you currently use to pay for products and services via your cell phone/smartphone?” Base: 2,716 US online adults (18+) (online monthly or more) who were aware of the options listed; Source: North American Technographics® Consumer Deep Dive: Investigating The Customer Life Cycle (Discover Phase) Survey, Q (US) 21
22
But as usage occurs, consumers seek additional locations to use their wallet
“Have you ever searched (either through the solution itself or in other ways) for new stores, retailers, or services that use or offer the same payment solution?” (For each mobile payment solution that you currently use) Base: US online adults (18+) (online monthly or more) who used the mentioned mobile payment solution; Source: North American Technographics® Consumer Deep Dive: Investigating The Customer Life Cycle (Discover Phase) Survey, Q (US) 22

Agenda What is a digital wallet and why all the hype? What will digital wallets mean for payments and commerce? Which wallet will be “The One”?
24
What it means . . . The payments landscape will become more crowded and complex. Banks and merchants will battle to retain control and influence of their customers’ spend. Digital wallets will cause merchants to reframe their cost/value expectations. Robust platforms will emerge and deliver greater value and convenience. 24
25
What it means The payments landscape will become more crowded and complex. More new entrants and fragmentation before consolidation 25

Old silos are irrelevant
Old silos are irrelevant. New competitors entering with new models of engagement Digital payments landscape Marketplace players In-store m-POS mCommerce eCommerce P2P Remittances New entrant innovators Digital payment platforms Mobile operators Innovators have first-mover advantage, but not the best or biggest.

What it means Banks and merchants will battle to retain control and influence of their customers’ spend. 27

Mobile wallet operator
Mobile digital wallet operators threaten to disintermediate banks and retailers Payment network Issuing bank Acquiring bank Mobile wallet operator Consumer Merchant
29
Banks and merchants will leverage their market power, unique assets, distinct customer data, and relationships Sample: Bank mobile digital wallet menu The “for us, by us” merchant digital wallet. Goal: Create a better approach to payments that protects merchants, their customer data and delivers a better commerce experience.
30
What it means Digital wallets will cause merchants to reframe their cost/value expectations. Mobile payments and digital wallets will deliver greater value at the same or lower total cost. Payments, offers/coupons, and loyalty/rewards will converge with digital wallets benefiting banks and merchants. Wallet pricing models are still evolving and could disrupt traditional interchange fees (e.g., LevelUp). Wallet providers will seek new ways to deliver tangible value to merchants. Some merchants will shift to closed-loop mobile payments (e.g., Starbucks’ model). 30

“Clip to Isis” — tap, scan, click offers, or follow merchants

THE OFFERWISE SOLUTIONTM
Card-linked offers are on the rise, will feed digital wallets, and will deliver more cost-effective marketing Targeting based on customer profile and spend history Automatic redemption Pricing: pay on redemption THE OFFERWISE SOLUTIONTM
33
“Order ahead” features let merchants preview their future flow of traffic and provide a better in-store experience GoPago (Chase Paymentech) PayPal and Jamba Juice
34
What it means Robust payment platforms will emerge and deliver greater value and convenience. Service providers will make creating and accepting digital wallets faster and easier. The digital convergence of channels and devices will make “online versus offline” irrelevant. 34
35
“Every connected device will be a commerce device.”
— Ed McLaughlin, chief emerging payments officer, MasterCard

There won’t be just one. 40
41
What will the future of wallets look like?
Consumers won’t choose just one. Context, convenience, confidence, and a compelling experience will drive when, where, and how often each wallet is used. There won’t be a single technology winner either. The cloud, bar codes, NFC oh my! Many wallets have an “all of the above” design strategy. How can you spot a winning wallet? It will: Create a better, more convenient alternative. Attract consumer and merchant adoption at scale. Create a viable business model.
42
Act now. The worst possible thing to do is nothing.
Revisit your value proposition or others will reframe it for you. Map out a strategy for the near and longer term.
