Interesting news continues to come out in the mobile wallet and/or mobile payments space.  PayPal has teamed with Samsung to deliver biometric enabled payments through Samsung's hardware.

Here is a snippet from that piece:

Consumers carrying around the next-generation Samsung Galaxy S5 smart phone will be able to use PayPal with the tap on the device’s biometric sensor.

The smart phone, scheduled for release in April, will have a fingerprint sensor that enables consumers to use their online PayPal accounts to pay for purchases in stores and on mobile-commerce Web sites that accept PayPal. An upcoming smart watch, albeit without the biometric capability, also includes a PayPal app.

Happy reading,
