- Facebook enters the payments market: Next step, a mobile wallet? The social networking giant has made its first move towards becoming a participant in the mobile wallet market with the launch of the Facebook Card, an innovative gift card solution that enables consumers to access multiple gift cards from one card and manage their balances from a single mobile app — and makes use of a unique viral distribution model. See page 2.
