Melbourne FL, January 25, 2016 -- NXT-ID, Inc. (NASDAQ: NXTD) ("NXT-ID" or the "Company"), a company focused on the growing mobile commerce market, announces that effective January 2016, all Wockets sold will be enabled with NFC (Near Field Communication) payment technology.

As new partnerships with financial institutions are completed, Wocket owners will be notified when they can make NFC payment transactions.This will require a software upgrade through the Wocket app.Gino Pereira, CEO of NXT-ID explains “The next generation Wockets are NFC enabled for payments like Apple Pay or Google Pay. It works as they do when you tap your Wocket to a terminal and it takes your payment. In 2016 we envision several product extensions for Wocket including NFC only Wockets and a new smartcard and app product all at different price points for various customer needs and preferences.”

This technology was previewed at the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in Las Vegas earlier this month along with a new contactless method of making Wocket payments at unmodified point of sale terminals that normally can only accept magnetic stripe cards.

The Company has a technology platform that can make payments by multiple methods to suit consumer preferences in a number of different form factors. This makes the technology appealing to strategic partners from financial institutions to makers of devices that would like to incorporate payment technology.”

According to Zion Research and their new report,  “Mobile Wallet (NFC and Remote Payment) Market: Global Industry Perspective, Comprehensive Analysis and Forecast, 2014 - 2020” , global demand for mobile wallet market was valued at USD 500 billion in 2014 and is expected to reach USD 2,500 billion in 2020, growing at a CAGR of approximately 30% between 2015 and 2020.
