Along with the news that Chase, Capital One and Barclaycard will be the first to place cards in the Isis Mobile Wallet, we released our first screenshot - take a look.
Starting This Summer, the Isis Mobile Wallet Will Be Available to More Than 100 Million U.S. Card Holders
BARCELONA, Spain – February 27, 2012 – Isis™, the mobile commerce joint venture created by AT&T Mobility, T-Mobile USA and Verizon Wireless, today announced that Chase, Capital One and Barclaycard have entered into agreements with Isis enabling their credit, debit and prepaid cards to be placed into the Isis Mobile Wallet. Starting in mid-2012, consumers will be able to load their eligible Chase, Capital One and Barclaycard cards into their Isis Mobile Wallet and shop at participating merchants, starting with locations across Salt Lake City and Austin, Texas.
“Today’s announcement is testament to the vision and commitment of Chase, Capital One and Barclaycard to make mobile commerce a real and positive experience for their customers,” said Michael Abbott, CEO, Isis. “Mobile commerce is more than a new way to pay; it’s about extending the relationships consumers enjoy with their banks and merchants into a powerful and convenient new form factor.”
The Isis Mobile Wallet will provide consumers with a convenient and secure way to pay, redeem coupons and present loyalty credentials, all with the tap of their phone. Chase, Capital One and Barclaycard will tailor their cardholder service experience within the Isis Mobile Wallet to reflect their respective brands and ensure a seamless and secure experience across physical cards and mobile platforms.
“Chase is committed to making mobile commerce a reality,” said Richard Quigley, president, Chase Card Services. “By working with Isis, we are excited to help pave the way for innovation in the mobile payments space and to provide cardmembers with a secure option for easier and faster payments on the go.”
Last July, Isis announced relationships with the top four U.S. payment networks: Visa, MasterCard, Discover and American Express. Isis’ relationship with the four U.S. payment networks provides banks with the freedom to enable any major network payment card and provide consumers with ubiquity and freedom of choice when deciding which of those cards to load into their Isis Mobile Wallet.
“Our customers have embraced digital and mobile banking and are demanding new and easier ways to manage their financial lives,” said Jack Forestell, executive vice president, Digital, Capital One. “Our relationship with Isis creates an exciting opportunity for our customers to begin to fully experience the power of mobile commerce.”
Today’s announcement underscores Isis’ inclusive approach, providing all stakeholders – banks, merchants and consumers – with the freedom and choice necessary to foster a robust new industry. Isis is building an ecosystem to provide consumers with a ubiquitous and positive experience across all participating carriers, phone models, payment networks, merchants and banks.
“We believe Isis is strongly positioned to bring the convenience, value and simplicity of mobile commerce to consumers,” said Stewart Holmes, senior director-mobile commerce strategy, Barclaycard US. “We’re excited to build this offering for customers and our card partners with Isis and look forward to shaping the future of payments.”
The Isis Mobile Wallet will initially launch in Salt Lake City and Austin in mid-2012 and is planning a national rollout to follow.
“While mobile wallets may look and smell the same from afar, Isis is setting itself apart by patiently building an ecosystem of issuer, network and merchant partners, offering an open platform that leaves partners in control of how they will communicate with their customers, and leaving the partners in control of sensitive payment and marketing data transiting over the platform,” says Gwenn Bézard, research director with Aite Group. “Isis’ new announcement sends a clear signal: it is serious about scaling mobile payments.”

Enabling the point-of-sale (POS) ecosystem for contactless is a critical step toward activating mobile payments. Already, we’ve seen POS hardware manufacturers start implementing terminals equipped with NFC technologies, but what’s in it for POS software and service providers? What do these groups need to know about contactless? How do they take advantage of the mobile payments movement to ensure merchant customers’ needs are met? What is the timeline for implementation?
The Isis Mobile Innovation Forum: Capitalize on a Contactless Future will help the POS ecosystem explore business opportunities and imperatives of contactless. On Feb. 21-22, industry experts will explore mobile payments, commerce technologies and revenue opportunities as this technology is deployed to consumers and merchants.
A recent Aite Group report suggests the NFC-enabled POS is poised to explode. Is your business ready to capitalize on this opportunity? To register or learn more about the Isis Mobile Innovation Forum, visit http://isisinnovationforum.com.
