Early last month Pay Apple introduced its own mobile payment system, which in practice walked a few days ago. Well, that platform, and any other that runs through NFC technology, for example Google Wallet, and has run in the US c on the first stones in his way blocking its use by large retail chains in the country.
Well, really what are blocking several heavyweights of American retailing is itself NFC terminals POS their estableciemientos, making it impossible to Apple and Google Wallet Pay operate on them.
As to which companies have decided to adopt the measure in question, in the last hours effectively has done Rite Aid and CVS, for its Wal-Mart and Best Buy part have also confirmed they will do the same in their tents, and more than secure them be adding others among whom we find Gap, Old Navy, 7-Eleven, Kohls, Lowes, Dunkin 'Donuts, Sam's Club, Sears, Kmart, Bed, Bath & Beyond, Banana Republic, Stop & Shop , Wendy's, and major brands of gas stations. Why Pay hamper Apple and Google Wallet
The obvious question that emerges from the above is why such large US retailers do not want to give a chance to Pay Apple and Google Wallet. This time the answer is clear: they aim to acquire the largest possible piece of the pie of mobile payments, and brushing step in the process the commission payable to banks for each transaction in its stores via credit cards and debit cards .
And how do expect? With CurrentC, a mobile application management payments which have been working together through a joint venture since 2012, which launched in Google Play and App Store this month (although currently only works with invitation) and the same instead of pulling NFC uses QR codes to start and verify payments, which are managed through khol cards not as if Apple and Google Wallet Pay but current accounts khol and other means (here's the catch by not using CurrentC cards, do not pay commissions).
A movement with some logic because, for them, time will tell whether it works. Maybe so, among other reasons because they plan to give more value to the app distributing it exclusive offers, and not, as the system in which CurrentC is based is significantly less usable than the applications of mobile payments Apple and Google.
