Mobile payments continue to make
headlines. Trials have come and gone and cross-industry relationships
have been set up and crumbled after the honeymoon period. Many of us,
I’m sure, have questioned whether mobile NFC payments would ever become a
mass-market reality.
Google changed all of this with one announcement in 2013. The incorporation of host card emulation (HCE) into the Android platform brought
significant relief to many of the key banks and service providers that
have been trying to make progress in launching mobile payments using
USIM secure elements.
We have developed the below infographic
to highlight some of the key statistics that demonstrate the readiness
of the market for mass market delivery of mobile services using HCE. The
infographic highlights the month-on-month growth of the deployment of
Android KitKat 4.4, the percentage of global mobile operating systems
that have the potential to support HCE, the countries where contactless
mobile payments are likely to achieve swift adoption and global consumer
readiness for mobile payments.
No more talking and no more trials. HCE
is a turning point for the delivery of mobile services and many banks
and services providers around the globe are already seizing this
opportunity. Interested to learn more, check out our short video on HCE.
