PAYMENTS AND
BANKING WITH
MOBILE PERSONAL DEVICES
MOBILE DEVICES ENABLE SECURE, CONVENIENT AUTHORIZATION OF
E-BANKING, RETAIL PAYMENT, BROKERAGE, AND
OTHER TYPES OF TRANSACTIONS.
T
he growth of mobile commerce
follows the increasingly popular
ownership and use of mobile per-
sonal, programmable communica-
tion devices, including mobile
phones and PDAs. These
devices are effective for autho-
rizing and managing payment and banking transac-
tions, offering security and convenience advantages
compared to online payment via PCs. Some of these
advantages are available in existing devices, others
require modest, inexpensive enhancements likely to be
available in new devices in the next few years. The use of
secure and convenient mobile personal devices could revo-
lutionize the payment, banking, and investment industries
worldwide. Here, I discuss some of the challenges and oppor-
tunities involved in their use for making secure payments and
authorizing banking transactions.
