The Mobile Payments Fustercluck

It seems that every week there's a new company, startup, or financial institution that is launching a new way to pay from, issue rewards, or power transactions from a mobile phone. The question that always lingers in my mind when I see yet another mobile payments service pop up?how many more ways do we need to pay for a physical or digital product via a mobile device? Matrix Partners? Dana Stalder, who was the former CTO of PayPal, says that he is introduced to at least one mobile payments startup a week. Matrix Partners previously invested in mobile payments company Zong, which was acquired by PayPal in 2010. "There has been a lot of innovation around payments?over the course of the last three to four years. But with recent growth in smartphone penetration, there has been a huge pop in the number of mobile-related payments companies," Stalder explains.
