In the Future, Visa Will Tell You When It's Time to Fill Up Your Car With Gas

Part of brand's big bet on Internet of Things

BARCELONA, Spain—For Visa, mobile payments are old news. Nowadays, the brand has its eye on tying the Internet of Things to payments—starting with the connected car. While not yet a reality, Visa is showing off a prototype of a connected car app built with Honda at Mobile World Congress this week.

"It's illustrative of where the Internet of Things is going," Visa's svp of digital solutions, Sam Shrauger, told Adweek. "Our belief is that anything that's going to have connectivity at some point in the future is probably going to be a vehicle by which people conduct transactions."
