It’s starting to look like cash might not be king anymore. These new apps are so popular because they’re so convenient. While people won’t have to worry about leaving their wallet at home or having enough cash, they will have to make sure their phones are fully charged. Veloxity offers phone charging kiosks with lockers that you can buy or rent for your business.
2. The mobile payment market continues to
grow. More and more apps let people pay
with their phones.
3. Event Check-in Systems
Apple, Samsung, Android and PayPal are
cashing in on apps that let people make
payments using their phones. Money makes
the world go round, but now it’s going
mobile.
We already text, shop, get the latest news,
play games and check social media on our
smartphones, and now they even act as
digital wallets because of mobile payment
apps.
4. Event Check-in Systems
Users can upload their credit card info to
each service, some will even scan cards using
the smartphone’s camera. No more paper
and no more typing. Whenever a purchase is
made, the apps require a password or PIN
number for security. Most systems use near
field communication (NFC), so people just
have to tap their phones at point-of-sale
terminals. With a system this easy, it seems
like we’ll be waving “goodbye” to wallets in
no time.

Here’s a guide on which stores you can shop
at without handing over plastic or paper.
Apple Pay
Launched just a year ago, Apple Pay has the
most retailer support and is available on
every iPhone 6 and 6 Plus. Apple has deals in
place with three major credit card
companies: Visa, MasterCard and American
Express. They also plan on adding Discover
this fall.

hundreds of thousands of restaurants, hotels
and grocery stores who accept this payment.
Some of the bigger names are Macy’s, Whole
Foods, Starbucks, Walgreens and Best Buy.

Target could soon add Apple Pay as well.

the ground yet, but rumors suggest Samsung

the Galaxy Note 5. Like Apple and Android
Pay, Samsung will also use NFC technology,

support NFC payments.

Last but not least is the oldest one of the
bunch – PayPal. This app lets users track their
balance, make purchases and send funds to
friends. Credit card info is also loaded into the
app by camera, and users confirm purchases
by logging into their account with a username
and password or PIN. There are 1,063 stores
that accept PayPal, and that list includes
Apple Stores, Best Buy, eBay, Target.com and
