I was watching some videos today where it tried to compare how using your smartphone as a way for using your credit card for traditional retails stores are safer than just using the regular plastic cards. From what I understood, simply swiping the credit card at a terminal means the merchant will have your number for awhile. So if there was ever a data breach you would be compromised. However, with a mobile payment option it gives you a temporary number for the transaction which gets destroyed fast. Therefore, everyone should think of switching to mobile payment options.<\/p>\n
Are you one of those people who have embraced the idea of using your smartphone as your credit card? I am still personally iffy about doing online bank on a smartphone personally. All those apps that you have to install the notion of using wireless Internet signals seems like there is just a greater chance of being compromised that way. Even for apps in general I usually try to keep it light as so many of them seem to require an excess amount of phone permissions for you to install it.<\/p>\n
This is the way of the future though which means it\u2019s only a matter of time until all of us will be using something like this. One point was it did note the security was based on a traditional credit card as opposed to ones with the chips on it. You still have a lot of time though as not a lot of retailers have the ability to take mobile payments yet compared to the traditional terminals.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
