Last night I headed out to Intuit’s Innovation Gallery Walk in NYC (PDF Brochure with QR Codes). The company had booths setup with information on 20 different products. Some of these are public offerings (QuickBooks Online) and some were quasi-public offerings like Intuit Brainstorm which offer internal group idea sharing .
Intuit is toying around with mobile wallets where using NFC ( near field communications / wireless transfer of your payment – similar to EZ Pass) and demoed a Google Nexus S ( one of the few with NFC capabilities ) passing payment data and integrated to their Mint product.
The electronic wallet is probably still a few years away but think of how cool it would be to leave all your credit cards at home. When you go to pay you tap your phone and select the card to use. Your balance and budget is displayed in real time. Part of their demo slide deck shows interaction with their recently acquired Mint online finance solution.
GoPayment isn’t all that new – and I wonder if some portion of it isn’t a gee whiz factor vs something most people would actually use (mobile payment capture via a mobile device).
Intuit also offers an option to take a picture and deposit a check. This feature isn’t available to the public yet – and some banks already offer this “picture and check deposit” tool. What’s cool is they fraud check first — something I bet they expand upon.
