Do you use a ‘mobile wallet’?

EVAN KANTOR

Assistant Director

Savills Studley

No, but I might try one. For me, what makes the mobile wallet appealing is the thought of not having to carry a real wallet and all the cards with me just to get a cup of coffee. That said, security is my main concern.

MATTHEW KARATZ

Chief of Staff

Rubicon Project

No, I don’t use a mobile wallet but I’m always open to experimenting with better ways of automating parts of my daily ritual. Any winning solution/app would have to demonstrate its ability to keep my banking data secure at all times. It should also provide an extremely friendly user interface.

Currently, I do not, but would be willing to try one. I use credit cards that have reward programs and if a mobile wallet is only tied to a debit card, then I wouldn’t be able to keep up with the reward programs. So if I can be certain that a mobile wallet can be tied to a credit card, I would definitely

use it.

DAN HARARY

President

Asbury PR Agency

No. I’m 58 years old. I’m old school. I wouldn’t use a mobile wallet in 500 million years. All of your account information is on your phone and someone who is proactive enough could remove that data.

PAUL LITTLE

Chief Executive

Pasadena Chamber of Commerce

I don’t use a mobile wallet and frankly am not that knowledgeable about the technology. While I am sure there are advantages with ease of use, I am still not ready to give up my credit cards or even migrate some of my transactions.
