Smart Card Alliance Commissions Survey and Finds Contactless Payment a Quick Hit With Consumers
SAN DIEGO, CA -- (MARKET WIRE) -- October 03, 2006 -- Smart Card Alliance Annual Conference -- Like a great new undiscovered restaurant, contactless payment is a big hit with consumers who have tried it but still not well known, according to new research produced independently by Javelin Strategy & Research for the Smart Card Alliance. Javelin Founder and President James Van Dyke presented the survey results today to industry leaders gathered in San Diego for the annual Smart Card Alliance conference.
Of the consumers surveyed, 13 percent have already used contactless payment, and 95 percent of that group said it was both easy and fast. Members of the Smart Card Alliance Contactless Payments Council sponsored the survey, including American Express Company, First Data Corporation, Gemalto, Giesecke and Devrient, Inside Contactless and ViVOtech.
