NFC payments are back in the limelight as U.S. gears up for Money20/20

Last updated: 31 October 2014

This is an especially exciting time in the payments industry, as the EMV migration is sweeping through the U.S. and mobile payments are poised to explode.  Business Insider recently predicted that in-store mobile payments will grow by 42X over the next 4 years.  Having been a part of the NFC from its infancy, we’re proud to see NFC and payment topics in the limelight at this year’s Money20/20 event in Las Vegas.  Money 20/20 has developed into one of the premier payment events of the year, with an estimated 7,000 attendees.  The event hasn’t even begun, and it’s already sold out.

We have no doubt that discussions held at Money20/20 will lead to innovations in the payments industry for years to come.  And there’s a lot to get amped up about, especially when it comes to mobile payments.
