PRINCETON JUNCTION, N.J., Dec. 06, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The U.S. payments industry is undergoing an immense transformation – from the EMV chip migration to the development of new mobile payments solutions to an accelerating shift to ecommerce transactions – and with it brings the potential for widespread success in the mobile and digital wallet market. To address growing interest and questions on how to best leverage the technology, the U.S. Payments Forum is hosting a four-part webinar series on the U.S. mobile wallet landscape. Attendees of this webinar series will come away with an in-depth understanding of mobile wallet models, security approaches and key considerations for adoption.

“It can be challenging to keep up with the technology and business drivers affecting the rapidly evolving mobile wallet landscape because there are so many choices and so much potential for innovation. This webinar series will sort out all of the variables and answer the most pressing questions around mobile wallet implementation from both issuer and merchant perspectives. I urge stakeholders to attend all four sessions in order to get the most comprehensive look at the past, present and future of mobile wallets,” said Randy Vanderhoof, director of the U.S. Payments Forum.
