Mobile payments

When Android Pay launched, Google Wallet became a P-to-P service. That market's getting popular, and Google is responding with a web upgrade.

Linked2pay is expanding a text-based, person-to-person payment service to allow banks to offer it for card and Automated Clearing House payments.

South Korea’s LG last year rolled out LG Pay, a mobile wallet that took an indirect approach to contactless payments by leveraging Bluetooth technology to link to a proprietary “white” card that stored a user’s payment cards.

Karhoo, a U.K. price comparison and hailing app for licensed taxis and minicabs, is preparing to launch in the U.S. with the help of Bank of America Merchant Services eCommerce and cybersecurity solutions.
