Interview With Kevin Dulsky, Paypal Text To Buy
A few weeks ago we reported the launch of the Paypal Text To Buy service that allows pre-registered users to text a message to a number or short-code to make instant purchases. Intrigued by how a brand could use such a system, the IF! team thought they’d ask Kevin Dulsky, senior director of mobile payments for PayPal, a few questions. This Q&A is pretty interesting for our Battle For The Bulge meme:
IF!: Will the phone become our wallet?
KD: It’s still early, but we think consumers are ready for anytime, anywhere payments. Already, consumers are using their mobile phones for much more than just talking - they’re sending e-mails, listening to music, taking pictures and making videos. Providing a safe, easy, convenient payment method provides even more utility to the mobile phone. We think the opportunity ahead is very exciting.
