Overview
The stakes are high with an existing U.S. market of over $4 trillion up for grabs, yet so far no single entity has been able to crack the code for mobile wallets. The Gang of Five — Apple, Google, Facebook, Amazon and PayPal (eBay) — threatens to disrupt the payments ecosystem as the mobile-social technology cycle takes off and mobile wallets come to the fore. With combined revenues in 2012 totaling almost $300 billion, each member of the Gang of Five has different strategies to success, but all are building network platforms to dominate consumer time and attention for monetization efforts. Javelin’s TIP (trust, innovation, and privacy) model for mobile wallets is used to analyze the current ecosystem and rank the Gang of Five brands against the existing contenders, the major payment networks, financial institutions, and mobile network operators. This report details which institutions are winning and losing, and which mobile features will gain consumer mobile wallet attention.
