Merry Christmas!
Celebrate this joyful time of the year with your closest ones and forget about the everyday rush for a moment. Enjoy some magical moments together and enter the new year in high spirits.
Recently we attended Webit Congress & Expo in Sofia (Bulgaria). Many people are interested in Central European e-commerce market (or, being more general, the Internet market). Is this a part of Europe that’s open to cooperation? What are the experiences of businesses there? And what is the current state of development? So let’s take a look at two countries in this region: Romania and Bulgaria.
If you’re an owner of a credit/debit card that allows contactless payments (like Visa PayWave or MasterCard PayPass), you probably have worries like: “Can someone get my card data?” or, what’s even worse, “Can someone steal my money?“. And the answers here are: “Yes, he can” and “yes, he can“.
It’s easy to find news and information on business or technology, but unfortunately services that cover those topics rarely publish payment news. If they do, it’s usually connected with some new gadgets or hot news like Google Wallet or mobile payments at Starbucks. So here are some useful payment services – choose what fits best your preferences.
If you know any other interesting payment websites, don’t hesitate to leave a link in the comments.
Do you think that paying with a mobile phone instead of a credit card is cool? Nonsense! Despite the fact that such solutions still aren’t popular globally, they’re already becoming old fashion. New gadgets and payment methods are being created all the time and that’s great. We – the customers – have a better choice and it’s up to us which solutions will become popular and which will vanish.
One of such new solutions is watch2pay. MasterCard teamed up with Laks and announced the first wristwatch that can be used to make payments. Not only does it sound cool, but it’s also simple and uses a well known technology.
