Overview
The Gang of Five — Apple, Google, Amazon, PayPal-eBay, and Facebook — is uniquely suited to dominate mobile wallets in the mobile-social tech cycle. Over the past three years, the Gang of Five has moved up strongly in consumer perceptions of trust and privacy, while the top five financial institutions, top four payment networks, and top three wireless carriers have either declined or remained steady. The Javelin TIP model analyzes brands against consumer perceptions of trust, innovation, and privacy to identify the top contenders for mobile payments supremacy. This annual review examines Apple Pay vs. Google Wallet on Android Pay vs. PayPal vs. Samsung Pay and other mobile wallet capabilities and offerings and distinguishes winners from losers. The report also analyzes Facebook’s newly announced payment offering based on Messenger. Long- and short-term implications are assessed, identifying how relative adjustments may affect future competitive positioning and how financial institutions and networks can best compete.
