Apple Pay, Android Pay, Samsung Pay, Walmart Pay, CurrentC (and more long-standing mobile payment platforms like PayPal & their apps) are all jockeying for position to become the mobile payments platform.
Now Target is reportedly working on its own mobile payments, too and we talked about it in our top Minnesota stories section. Then we thought, “Hey! What if the five us start Ojezap Pay?” since Julio Ojeda-Zapata is today’s guest-host and, with his huge net worth from all those lucrative ‘netcast’ appearances on TWiT, we figure he could cover any losses by writing a check. 😉
Hosts: Steve Borsch, Tim Elliott, Graeme Thickins, Phil Wilson and Julio Ojeda-Zapata.
