When you talking of new system being widespread do you mean MCX?? If you do, then I feel it will be a non starter (imo).
MCX system is based on mining data and lining their own pockets instead of the bankers. If it was based on consumer convenience and security, then no doubt they would win...
no, i don't mean MCX.. i mean a new system in which a majority of people will be using their phone/devices at POS instead of cards/cash.. (be it applePay or mcx or whatever)
something is going to be in place five years from now and it probably won't be applePay's current implementation nor currentC's beta software.. we, as consumers, should probably not choose a side in this right now.. instead, we'd be better served if the petition was to get apple and google and the retailers to work together on a solution..
(but i doubt that will happen.. apple/google wants a cut from the banks on billions (trillions?) of transactions.. basically the opposite of what the retailers want-- their cut of transaction fees)
