In case you havent noticed, cell phones are no longer just
\nfor talking and texting. Were living in a society that willingly wants to
\ncarry all of their information on one device rather than carrying multiple
\nitems like credit cards, coupons and loyalty cards.<\/p>\n

Mobile-optimized web
Whether you are creating a mobile app to encompass these

\nadvantage of the features on their smartphones. So what about when an account
\ncomes up short on money and the user wasnt the one who spent it? Most
\nconsumers see this integration as convenient and easy-to-use but generally
\nforget about the security aspect. The problem is that consumers are more than

\nto you or your app. In order to maintain consumer confidence in this
\nenvironment, it is the responsibility of the merchant to keep consumer
\ninformation safe and secure.<\/p>\n
