Use PayPal at any Discover merchant. Wow

That’s a big headline. No new card or anything – you just pay with your paypal account.

 

The most amazing and impressive thing is how: your mobile number + a PIN typed right into the credit card machine AS IF IT WAS A CREDIT CARD NUMBER!

 

They process the digits differently on the back end. On the front end it’s just like a card number being keyed in!

 

Very impressive. Pay by name is kind of cool but it requires new ‘infrastructure’ (your picture). This requires nothing.

 

(But I still hate PayPal – they steal your money)
