Join NFC World and SimplyTapp for a unique opportunity to put your questions on HCE, tokenization, Apple Pay, Android Pay and more to host card emulation pioneer Doug Yeager.

The arrival of HCE has changed the mobile payments industry and cloud based solutions are rapidly maturing. But mobile payments technology continues to evolve and decisions taken today can have a major impact on the success of a mobile payments service tomorrow.

This free-to-attend webinar is your chance to get answers and guidance from the man who kick-started the cloud-based NFC payments era.

Doug wrote the first HCE patch for CyanogenMod Android phones in 2011 and went on to co-found SimplyTapp, a company focused on freeing card issuers to distribute cards or credentials into mobile devices for physical interaction.

SimplyTapp’s position at the heart of HCE development, working alongside Google and global financial institutions, means the company has special insights into the evolution and the future of the technology. Doug will take your questions on:

• Technical issues, business considerations and the current and future status of the market
• Deploying mobile payment solutions that meet both iOS and Android customer needs.
• Integrating mobile payments with mobile banking and other mobile financial apps.
• Tokenization: Do you need it? What are your options?
• Creating the ideal user experience for mobile payments
