Mobile Payment Industry Challenges Low consumer demand, unclear value proposition Multiple stakeholders Security and privacy concerns Not enough NFC-enabled phones Uncertain business model between MNOs and Banks Lack of standards for interoperability Weak merchant business case Ownership of Customer Data Lack of regulatory direction 15
Principles for Successful Adoption of Mobile Payments in U.S. Mobile device to initiate and receive payments for purchases between consumers and/or businesses Open mobile wallet that supports multiple payment options (credit, debit, bank account, prepaid/stored value, etc.) in a secure container NFC technology for POS contactless mobile payments, with enabling phone applications Payments cleared and settled over existing channels (credit, debit, prepaid, ACH, mobile); open to new channels Dynamic data authentication deployed for security Standards developed for the U.S. based on evolving global standards and an industry supported certification process Regulatory clarity for oversight between applicable agencies Trusted Service Managers (TSMs) to provision secure elements 16
Mobile Payments Security Must be Addressed Holistically Physical security of mobile device Security of app, software, wireless network Customer Authentication Account/ Wallet Security Several risk points Need shared responsibility to monitor and protect Secure Element & NFC chip Unregulated technology & service providers Payment transaction security Mobile carrier security 17
Mobile Regulatory Landscape No one law or governing authority oversees mobile payments Fed, FDIC, OCC, NCUA, and CFPB for financial institutions FCC oversees mobile carrier standards and competition FTC looks at consumer protection and identity fraud more broadly State regulators cover MSB and money transmitters Alternative payment providers less familiar with banking laws Status of mobile regulation Fed and Industry Workgroup met with above regulators in April 2012 Primary concerns consumer protection, privacy and data security Stressed consumer awareness before engagement Regulations and laws applicable to underlying payment methods (credit, debit, prepaid, ACH) still govern mobile payments General consensus Still too early in mobile payments evolution to regulate Focus on education and communication between industry and agencies 18
Conclusions Non-banks will continue to play strong roles in innovation and implementation of mobile services and technology Security and fraud issues must be addressed collaboratively to reach full adoption of mobile payments Banks and non-banks have opportunities, technology, and tools to develop viable, costeffective mobile payment solutions to support the underbanked What incentives are needed to motivate them? 19
