Trust Mico

edit

Trust Mico is a recommendations site (not a review site) where, from March, people will be able to pay for goods and services using the World’s most Secure, flexible and holistic mobile payment solution.

The front end (Trust Mico) allows people to see which companies their Facebook and LinkedIn friends have recommended. They can also get loyalty credits and incentives from businesses. The back end (Flick mobile) is a bespoke mobile payment gateway that runs the web, can use any phone and process any credit card.

The process is totally secure for a few reasons:

1. No credit card information is stored on the phone or transferred to the vendor. The transaction is carried out between the credit card company and the merchant account.
2. Trust Mico displays a photo of the customer on the vendor’s screen at point of sale. This photo has been confirmed as related to that name by their Facebook and LinkedIn contacts. Ie. Trust Mico uses human interaction to identity-check

This combined platform allows merchants to take payments, run a loyalty scheme (or join a shop local/group scheme), offer incentives and get social media dissemination from each powerful recommendation.
