CurrentC mobile-payment pilot ends
Merchant Customer Exchange (MCX) shut down a Columbus, Ohio, pilot of its CurrentC mobile payment service this week.
The company said on its website that it has "not determined the future timing of CurrentC" although some analysts have said for a while they doubted the service would continue due to pressure from Apple Pay, Samsung Pay and others.
In an emailed statement, an MCX spokesman said, "We removed CurrentC from the app stores to coincide with the scheduled end of our Columbus, Ohio beta at the end of June. We've not announced future timelines or plans around the app but we're looking forward to analyzing and learning from the data we gleaned throughout the beta."
