Out in Tech New York | The Future of Digital Payments

The Future of Digital Payments

With new technologies constantly emerging and changing the landscape of how people make purchases, Out In Tech is partnering with American Express to explore the future of digital payments. We’ll take a look at the various payment trends, including mobile payment systems (i.e. Apple Pay, Square, Beacon), peer-to-peer payments (i.e. Venmo, Google Wallet, Ribbon), and all-in-one digital credit cards (i.e. Coin, Stratos, Swyp) to get a peek at how these technologies are evolving, and how they’ll affect our wallets.
