G+_Graham Forte Posted October 27, 2014 Share Posted October 27, 2014 We have to stand up with our iOS brethren and stop this abomination! Originally shared by Derek Ross CurrentC: A service so evil and horrible it will unite the clans. If there's one thing that can unite the Clan of Duarte and the Clan of Ive (Android and Apple users) it's CurrentC. CurrentC is big retails plan to maximum profits by thwarting credit card fees and to effectively kill Google Wallet and Apply Pay - two technologies that are much better than this abomination. Why is CurrentC so bad? Well, it seems clunky and has the potential to be insecure compared to Google's and Apple's offerings. Instead of easy to use tap and pay services with virtual credit card numbers designed to protect the user, CurrentC wants to use a series of QR codes that the consumer has to scan and the retailer has to scan and the service is tied directly to your bank account. The current rage is focused at Apple Pay, but this system will hurt Google Wallet just the same. I'm not sure what can be done, but we need to be united in our efforts, whatever they are. http://techcrunch.com/2014/10/25/currentc/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
