1. Rogers & Mobile Payments
CANADIAN TELECOM SUMMIT | JUNE 4, 2012
David Robinson, Vice-President, Emerging Business
Rogers Communications Inc.
2. Where we are today …
Recent announcement with CIBC
CIBC and Rogers Communications
announced an agreement to launch
Canada's first joint mobile payment
solution,
Solution will allow Canadians to pay
with their CIBC credit card at the
checkout counter using their Rogers
"Near Field Communications" (NFC)
enabled smartphone
3. Rogers Vision for Mobile Proximity Payments
• Canada is unique in the world in its “readiness to scale”, with
the most advanced contactless card issuance and acceptance
ecosystem in the world.
• The mobile proximity payment ecosystem that Rogers will
offer to merchants and consumers utilizes the same
contactless card terminals currently used by merchants.
– These contactless card terminals will recognize a mobile
devices in the same manner they recognizes a credit card
today, therefore, if a merchant already has such a terminal
new hardware will not be required.
4. What will a “SIM based” Mobile Wallet Look Like?
The initial objective is to make a smartphone “look like” a payment
card to existing point-of-sale equipment.
5. The SIM as the “Secure Element”
The UICC (or SIM) is a cost-
effective, secure, card storage
facility, with the added benefit
of platform portability and
global carrier support.
6. The SIM as the “Secure Element”
Because the platform is built to the security standards of global
payment networks, it can be used for virtually any credential
Virtual cards create a
growth opportunity for
issuers who are willing to
use the new channel to
expand their market share.
A mobile wallet can contain
payment cards of all types –
Credit, Debit, and Pre-paid.
Pre-paid cards may play
the role of “cash” in the
mobile wallet.
7. The Mobile Wallet
Use your transit pass to
get on and off transit
systems.
Secure government
issued ID will reduce
costs, and increase
personal privacy.
Banks, government
agencies, and others will
rely on secure digital ID.
8. The Mobile Wallet Cont’d
Merchants prefer to store cards
over any other payment type
because they create customer
loyalty, pay lower fees than credit
cards, and have lower cash
handling cost.
The mobile wallet will materially
lower the barriers to store card
distribution.
The only payment type merchants
like more than store cards is gift
cards, because they drive
customers to their store, get the
cash up front, and pay the same
low fees as store cards.
The mobile wallet will materially
lower the barriers to gift card
distribution.
9. The Mobile Wallet Cont’d
Building Access is a good
example of a credential that
needs to be secure, and should
be on the UICC. By removing the
UICC from the phone you are
guaranteed the credential is not
usable.
Canadians use coalition reward
programs more than any other
country. Virtual versions of these
programs will increase usage at
merchants by eliminating the
inconvenience of carrying
multiple reward cards.
As well, mobile applications can
automatically remind users to
present the card, increasing
loyalty to merchants.
10. Issuers will have the option to connect directly, or via aggregators

Notes de l'éditeur
Mobile payments is a large and poorly understood category of ecommerce.I am speaking specifically to mobile proximity payments.Mobile proximity payments is about the ability for the mobile device to “emulate” or “pretend” to be a card. Specifically, a card with contactless technology in it.Some of the contactless brands you would be familiar with are PayPass, in the case of MasterCard, or Paywave in the case of Visa.To make this happen, you need a couple of things, First, you need a mobile version of the card application in the phone, then you need a radio and an antenna in the mobile device to communicate with the same payment terminal that contactless payment cards communicate with. This was the purpose of a GSM Association initiative called “Pay-buy-Mobile” which Rogers participated in – to figure out the way to get industry standard payment cards – like you MasterCard or Visa – on industry standard GSM devices.That part is more or less done, an now, many of the smartphones being sold today are capable of emulating cards. Millions of these phones will be in market in Canada by the end of next year.Other cards – like building access cards, or a transit pass, or a store card – like a Tim Horton’s card – use different applications, but use the same radio, so it is just as simple to carry these on a mobile device as well.
