Pro-Side Using Contact less payment system in Indonesia

Retail Week

Cash, Card or Mobile Phone?

Right now, retailers need to get to grips with the dawn of contact less payment. In the past week there has been a raft of announcements and news on alternative payment methods. Technologists everywhere are still convinced that they can come up with something better than cash for smaller transactions.

The alternative method that retailers must consider in the immediate future is contact less payment. With a few merchants in London live with the system already, more than 1,000 sites having signed up to roll out the Barclay-card Business contact less payment technology, and 3,800 consumers have registered their interest in the system's One Pulse contact less card.

1.    Could we use it apply it in Indonesia?

2.    What are the benefit advantages and disadvantages that we got as consumers?

3.    Which one would you prefer cash, card or mobile phone?

My opinion is based on the retail week above about “cash, card or mobile phone?” that we could use and apply “contact less payment” in Indonesia. Why? Because there are the benefits advantages that we got as consumers, such as more secure payments because we don’t use cash money anymore or if we lost our card or mobile phone we can block it, more practical than we use cash money, guaranteed, easier for saving our time because we can shop and buy in that moment use mobile phone by online system. And i think i prefer to use mobile phone than cash and card, because right now there are Apple pay and Samsung pay for transaction and we always use mobile phone in our hand so we can transaction everywhere.
