mPayments quick overview
The mobile payments trend, undoubtedly, is on its way of becoming a mainstream phenomenon. It will change how society thinks about monetary transactions. Let’s take a look into mPayments, meet the main actors and gain a basic understanding of this fast moving trend.
04
Definition Mobile payments are payments made using a mobile device. Generally, there are two ways to pay by mobile: online payments and proximity payments. “mPayments will transform customers’ lives”. See video
Online Payments
Main Actors
Mobile payments for digital or physical goods. Digital goods payments refer to products/services consumed on mobile devices, such as app purchases or digital content. Also, person to person (P2P) payments may be considered as online payments. Physical goods payments refer to products/services delivered physically, but purchased via a mobile device.
Banks & Card Companies Incumbents who are currently dominating the general payment landscape; as the overall leaders, they are generally taking a wait & see approach, looking for the right product at the right time.
Proximity Payments Mobile payments for products & services purchases on-site via a mobile device (short range radio technologies, such as NFC). Generally used at POS terminals, transit, etc.
Example of wallets VISA ISIS (AT&T, Deutsche Telecom & Verizon) Google

Mobile Payments Mobile Payments mPayment & Value Bundles “The smartphone is simply an enabler — not a driver — of changing behavior.” Ron Shevlin, Aite Group
elevator pitch Let’s take visual journey through the mobile payment space. We’ll look at the users and usage, deployment scenarios, business models, and take a peek into the future and the market.
“Mobile payments on their own are not sufficient to drive consumer adoption but the value bundle — payments together with incentives and offers — has a higher chance of persuading consumers to change their behavior.” Advanced Payments Report 2012, Edgar, Dunn & Company
Therefore, each actor is using or will use mobile payments to design and build the “best” value bundle for a given customer segment. Lots of collaborative models are emerging, such as ISIS and Boku which are collaborations between mobile operators and other entities. See video (Boku)

Meaningful Value Bundle For banks, mobile payments are not an end to itself. In a world of customer experience as the new value proposition, products by themselves do not offer a competitive advantage. Together with other building blocks of the business model, banks can leverage mobile banking and put together a value bundle that can delight customers and regain their
trust and confidence, such as offering value added financial products/services; such as helping customers to save, to invest, and to borrow. In other words, banks are positioned to provide a meaningful experience to customers when it comes to addressing their financial needs/wants, including the ability to pay for purchases via mobile devices.

Which Way to Go?
Core banking platform
Most mobile banking apps in the market today are native apps. That is to say, the kind of apps you purchase from an app store for a particular mobile platform, such as Apple’s App Store, Google’s Play, etc. These apps currently provide the best experiences for customers as it integrates the functionalities of the smart devices into the mobile banking app, such as camera or GPS. However, keeping the mobile banking up to date for each platform can quickly run up the costs. With the coming of html5, banks can “write once, publish in many platforms;” not only html5 can save money, but also decrease time to market. Banks will have more choices regarding mobile banking applications in the post PC era. Which way to go?
Have the need to better understand customers and the value bundle? Go back into the core. “Banks need to seriously consider core renovation. Core renovation allows modern architecture to deliver new functionality like dynamic pricing and product and pricing simulations which help banks to understand, at an enterprise level, the value of customer relationships and the potential of any given product offer or bundle.”

The first Virgin Money Store opened its doors in July, with plans to open some 70 plus more stores in the future.

3D Printing 3D printing is a process of making three dimensional solid objects from a digital file. 3D printing is achieved using additive processes, where an object is created by laying down successive layers of material. In other words, 3D printing turns bits into atoms.
“3D printing makes it as cheap to create single items as it is to produce thousands and thus undermines economies of scale. It may have a profound impact on the world as the coming of the factory did. … Just as nobody could have predicted the impact of the steam engine in 1750 —or the printing press in 1450, or the transistor in 1950— it is impossible to foresee the longterm impact of 3D printing. But the technology is coming, and it is likely to disrupt every field it touches.” Source: The Economist

he market for 3D printing and related products and services are expected to grow because additive manufacturing essentially makes the cost of complexity free (or almost free). Massive personalization doesn’t mean massive costs. In terms of manufacturing, personalization becomes essentially free.

cost of 3d printers is dropping dramatically. The cost of basic home 3D printer is dropping to about $1,000 and a industrial 3D printer to about $10,000.

model creation is being democratized. What was a complex & expensive is now simple & affordable; and readily accessible.
When technology boosts marketing campaigns Building a product is just the beginning. Once in the market, users will evaluate if the application developers have been working on during the last months is good enough or not. It is true that this evaluation depends on a never-ending number of variables - customer satisfaction, needs covered, look and feel, expectations, overall experience - which makes the success almost impossible to predict.

ven the most simple solution needs a marketing campaign accompanying the launch —it may not be mandatory but it really helps!— Spreading the word can be done in many different ways, but surprising the final users is becoming harder and harder. Google has detected the opportunity and their teams are creating amazing examples about how to take their products to the limit. In other words, Google uses the technology beyond their product as the marketing campaign. Let’s enjoy with a few examples.

Events Mobile Payments
Play the Cube
Mobile payments are on their way to become a mass phenomenon. Analysts believe that on the next five years most of the transactions done in physical commerce will be executed through mobile devices.
PlayMapsCube is a tilt-to-roll marble game using 3D and the Google Maps API. The game is a tutorial for Google Maps but it includes some features that make it an addictive game. Is it really needed to explain how Google Maps works? For most of the people probably not, but it is cool and it will be useful during the maps war for sure.
This payments will shape the way monetary transactions are seen in the future by the society as a whole, and will surely transform the clients’ lives.

World Wonders Project
The Google Cultural Institute has created an amazing 3D virtual tour of the Palace of Versailles. This example shows the true power of Google Chrome navigator working with WebGL for rendering interactive 3D graphics without the use of plug-ins.
Another example created by the Google Cultural Institute to show how Google Street View works. Google makes world heritage sites available to users across the globe by using the Street View technology including videos, photos and in-depth information. Users can now explore the world wonders just as if they were there.
The Mobile Payments event will be held on November 29th. From 9.30 to 2.00 pm. BBVA Innovation Center Plaza de Santa Bárbara, 2, 28004. madrid
