Visa outlines ‘digital wallet’ vision
Visa’s head of mobile innovation, Bill Gajda, says mobile devices are becoming “true digital wallets.” That's an interesting way of putting things, as you might have been thinking Visa is mostly interested in the "payment" or transaction part of the mobile money business. It is, of course. But the related businesses, ranging from advertising, local commerce and credentials management to loyalty and marketing programs are not areas Visa might see as outside the scope of its extended ambitions.
