Last week, Mobile ID World president Peter O’Neill was in Las Vegas for Money20/20, just about the biggest payments industry conference there is. Now having just successfully completed its third annual commerce industry event, Money20/20 has embraced biometrics and mobility. A massive amount of identity management news came out of the Las Vegas conference last week, and some of it certainly felt game changing.
Magical Payments
Readers of Mobile ID World have known for some time that a big change is coming to payments. At Money20/20 this year we got to hear it from one of the biggest voices in the industry, Ryan McInerney, president of Visa.
In a keynote presentation, McInerney outlined the ways that physical payment transactions are becoming magical again thanks to innovations in mobility, identity, security and convenience. Along those same lines, Toronto based vital biometric authentication company Bionym announced the world’s first wearable biometric payment solution.
Below you will find the articles on both news items plus an exclusive audio interview with Bionym president Andrew D’Souza:
