Accepting mobile payments is quickly becoming an important element of any mobile commerce strategy, and many merchants are moving to adopt it. However, like so many new technologies, security is still an issue when it comes to the mobile payments space. Whether it’s mobile POS, NFC, or other digital currencies, navigating the compliance and usability hurdles remains a barrier to entry for many small to medium sized businesses.
Today, cybercriminals have gotten craftier than ever, and merchants are struggling to keep up with their changing tactics. As more credit card transactions are processed through or with mobile devices, the threats from malware and fraud will increasingly impact retailers, customers, and alternative payment methods alike.
Thursday, 3/14 at 11am PT, join McAfee SECURE and co-hosts Sebastian Castro, COO & Founder, and William Chen, Senior Software Program Manager at Leaf, as we discuss best practices and recommendations for getting started safely with mobile payments.
Whether you are an online merchant or brick and mortar-based business, the chances are high that mobile payments will play a role in how you interact with your customers. During the chat, Sebastian and William will discuss some of the most common security and usability hurdles companies face, as well as how to mitigate them when exploring mobile commerce in any form.
We would love to hear your personal experiences with mobile payments and any tips or insights into how you can successfully incorporate a deployment into an existing business strategy.
