The largest International Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in 44 years took place last week at the Las Vegas Convention Centre, with 153,000 visitors taking up an exhibition space of 1.6 million square feet. CSI Enterprises, Inc., a financial solutions provider for businesses, was there showcasing its globalVCard app alongside special assistant iCan The Showbot. The CSI globalVCard app is a B2B mobile payment solution, introduced in September 2011, that allows users to create single or multi-use virtual cards from their tablet or smartphone to make payment. It can be downloaded for free on iOS, Android and Blackberry platforms.
CSI claims it will be introducing the application into the consumer market at the end of Q2 this year. The company says the new application will be equipped with improved features such as more defined merchant categories, VCard image customizations, batch VCard creation, real-time reporting, recipient VCard balance and details, add recipient from mobile device and contact list and capture photo receipt. Built-in NFC technology will be introduced at the end of QC, alleges CSI.
