Earlier this week I presented at the Mobile Payments Conference in London. A range of very different experiences from Visa, MasterCard and Western Union, Gemalto, Payforit and many more left no doubt. Mobile payment is maturing; it’s taken in use in running operations worldwide. At mBricks we advocate secure, user friendly and rich banking and payment applications. For more than four years we have investigated special purpose applications for this kind of services. Early SMS and WAP experiences have paved the way for richer applications with intuitive user interfaces, like the ones built with mBricks. In our latest 2.8-edition payment service providers are able to show their PCI compliant web pages inside a java application on the handset. This makes development of built-in payment services inside the application context easy to do.
At the conference podium, mBricks was the only one to demo live applications from the handset. We’re actively pursuing payment and banking opportunities. Our efforts fit the very obvious trend of mobile applications taking over for more traditional web approaches. Actually, we’re strong believers in user friendly and secure banking and payment services. Maybe you’re a believer too? Maybe we should meet?
