Can an HCE Wallet Keep Your Customers ‘Within the Walls’?

With third-party mobile wallets become more popular, many bank executives believe they must introduce proprietary products in order to maintain customer loyalty and avoid disintermediation.

A mobile wallet using host card emulation is one way to achieve this on Android devices (iPhones use a different technology, the secure element). Earlier concerns about security seem to be resolved; today Visa and MasterCard both support HCE for cloud¬based mobile payments.

The question remains whether banks should add a payments feature to their existing mobile banking app or opt for a white-label standalone. This session will present the pros and cons of each approach.
