NXT-ID's (OTCQB:NXTD) Wocket™; a Next Generation Smart Wallet and COIN Coming to Consumers in 2014 to Replace all the Credit Cards in Your Wallet

Point Roberts, WA, NEW YORK, NY - February 26, 2014 (Investorideas.com Newswire) Investorideas.com, a global news source covering leading sectors including biometrics and mobile technology, issues an exclusive follow-up interview with Mr. Gino Pereira, Chief Executive Officer of NXT-ID, Inc., creator of Wocket™; a next generation smart wallet and Mr. Kanishk Parashar, CEO of Coin, as each company prepares to launch their products to consumers this year. Both products take aim at consumer’s bulky wallets and hope to replace all credit cards in a wallet with one simple solution.

Alan Goode, Managing Director of GoodeIntelligence.com notes, “With the recent attacks that saw millions of customers of Target having their personal information, including payment card details, stolen, there is a pressing need to improve the security of payment services at the physical store. EMV is one solution that could improve the security posture of card present transactions at the physical point of sale but perhaps, what we need is a leap to next generation technology that combines convenience and security. Mobile payments are one option but the complexity of the ecosystem has created problems for combining all of our card details within a secure mobile wallet that is accepted at all retail outlets. There are alternatives; innovative technologies that could solve the problem of convenience and security such as NXT-ID’s Wocket and Coin. They take the approach of combining the ubiquity of card-based payments with a single, secure digital wallet that can hold all of a consumer’s card details in the single device."
Another new start-up competitor has emerged on the landscape, called the Loop Wallet™ App, that says it scans, stores and organizes all your cards on a smartphone securely, and lets you pay at virtually every retailer today.
It is clear that this is the year for the race to bring consumers the most innovative payment solutions; consumers and investors stay tuned!
NXT-ID, Inc. Interview:
Q: Investorideas.com
Gino you recently released a product FAQ, 'Get to knowWocket™’ that shared a lot of new product features including the number of cards it can hold (up to 10,000). Can you share some of the new product features?
A: Gino Pereira, Chief Executive Officer of NXT-ID, Inc
Certainly. These product features are not so much new but we are releasing more details as we get closer to product launch. There’s still more to come! I would encourage those who are interested to visit our website www.nxt-id.com and read the FAQ’s on the Wocket product page.
Essentially, Wocket is a next generation smart wallet that locks all of your private information in an electronic vault where only an authorized user can gain access to the information and has a single dynamic card for all your payments You can store up to 10,000 records in Wocket including credit, debit, loyalty, gift, ID and membership cards as well as coupons and even medical records, to name a few. The Wocket completely replaces your wallet. It even allows for you to carry cash!
Q: Investorideas.com
Your company recently published filings regarding a private placement funding that was non- dilutive and described by analysts as investor friendly. Can you share what that means in laymen’s terms?
A: Gino Pereira, Chief Executive Officer of NXT-ID, Inc
As a public company we wanted to show our investors that, as a management team, we believed in the company, so the founders returned stock to the Company on a one for one basis with the new shares that were issued in the financing. As a result, existing investors are not diluted by having more shares issued and the Company has more money in the bank!
Q: Investorideas.com
Can you discuss the security features on Wocket and what differentiates it from the competition?
A: Gino Pereira, Chief Executive Officer of NXT-ID, Inc.
Wocket uses multifactor biometric and PIN identification to allow access to private information. In addition, this information is stored on a secure encrypted chip inside the Wocket. This information is input directly into Wocket and does not come from the internet or the cloud or a phone or other computer. The information on the dynamic card is zeroised after one swipe, so if the card itself is lost, it carries no information about the owner.
Q: Investorideas.com
When is your expected roll- out to debut the Wocket and are you on schedule?
A: Gino Pereira, Chief Executive Officer of NXT-ID, Inc.
We expect to debut Wocket at the end of March or early April and we are currently on schedule for that time frame.
Q: Investorideas.com
How do you view the competitive landscape and how confident are you in Wocket’s technology?
A: Gino Pereira, Chief Executive Officer of NXT-ID, Inc.
I think that the whole payments space is going through tremendous disruption at the moment with a number of players, both large and small, looking for ways to improve security and functionality.
There will potentially be several winners who achieve this in slightly different ways. We think of ourselves as not just a company enabling a more convenient method of payment but we are a next generation authentication company with solutions to multiple problems across different platforms. Wocket is an authentication device as well as your wallet, and in combination with our one time use dynamic pairing algorithms, can authenticate the user for payments both at the point of sale (POS) for card present transactions as well as for card not present transactions such as online purchases. Wocket can also authenticate you for seamless access to smart devices of the future with access to your house and your car! We have technologies for tomorrow’s world that are not only a lot more secure than what is available today but also will be convenient and easy to use.
COIN Interview:
Q: Investorideas.com
I read that less than a week after your first media launch, you reached your initial pre-sale goal. What is the ongoing interest like for presales - has the momentum continued?
A: Kanishk Parashar, CEO of Coin
We are very excited about our continued growth after hitting our $50,000 goal in just 40 minutes after launch, but we aren't releasing any more specifics at this time. We want to keep our focus on manufacturing the product as we ramp up to start shipping this summer.
Q: Investorideas.com
The company also addressed some of the security concerns following the initial media release. Can you tell us what changes were made with regard to security?
A: Kanishk Parashar, CEO of Coin
In total below are the security features of Coin:

• The Coin app is password protected and is 128-bit/256-bit encrypted for all storage and communication with its easy-to-use consumer app to ensure the safety of your identity.
• With Coin, you can only add your cards that match your personal information stored in the app. Your full name will be printed on the Coin and your signature will be on the back.
• Coin sends you a push notification alerting you if you leave your Coin behind and locks automatically if you go too far away, making it unusable if anyone tries to pay with it. If you need to unlock your Coin without your phone - you can enter in your single button passcode (similar to Morse code) so you always have your Coin available for use.
• On the digital screen, you will see the nickname that you assigned to your card, the last 4-digits of the card and the expiration date. If you need any other information off your card - you can go to your Coin app which has front and back images of your card.
• Coin has an alarm, that remembers how many times your Coin is being swiped, and will alert you via the app if it is being swiped fraudulently when out of your hands.
• Coin can lock for one particular card so it can’t be changed to a different card by a merchant or waiter for example.

Q: Investorideas.com
I read in late January in VC Post that the company is raising approximately $15 million in a Series-A financing. Can you give us an update on that, and are you able to disclose any key investors in the raise? (http://www.vcpost.com/articles/21195/20140129/us-credit-card-wallet-coin-raising-15m-in-series-a-funding-sources.htm)
A: Kanishk Parashar, CEO of Coin
No comment.
Q: Investorideas.com
Is the company still on track to release the product to consumers for this summer?
A: Kanishk Parashar, CEO of Coin
Yes - Summer 2014.
Q: Investorideas.com
In closing, can you sum up the consumer response and attitude towards your product?
A: Kanishk Parashar, CEO of Coin
We are very excited by the initial consumer response that we have received so far. Our backers have been very positive and patiently awaiting the release of Coin this summer.

Investorideas.com Security Conference Adds Viscount Systems (OTCQB:VSYS) to Presenters; Speakers Discuss Key Security issues including Biodefense, Biometrics and Cybersecurity

New York, NY - February 20, 2014 (www.investorideas.com newswire) Investorideas.com, an investor research and news portal covering leading sectors including technology and defense, announces new speakers and presenters for its upcoming Security and Defense Conference, “Game Changing Technologies: The Face and Future of Security”, to be held live in New York and online on March 11, 2014.

New financial panelists include Manish Thakur, Managing Partner of Hudson Fairfax Group and Jason Kolbert, Head of Healthcare Research, Senior Managing Director and Biotechnology Analyst at Maxim Group.
Added to presenting companies is Viscount Systems (OTCQB:VSYS), a Canadian manufacturer of advanced physical access control systems that combines traditional access control performance with cyber security (true convergence of logical and physical access) to increase security while driving down facility costs to secure offices, hospitals, critical infrastructure, schools, banks, and manufacturing. The company’s unique offering satisfies new US Federal Government standards for increased protection of facilities from external threats. http://viscount.com/
The theme of the conference is 'game changing technologies, the face and the future of security’ and will be discussing developments in biodefense, biometrics including fingerprint, voice and facial recognition, cyber security and other leading edge technologies.
The agenda will include a financial panel, and industry panel and presenting companies showcasing their technologies.
Recently added media partners include BiometricUpdate.com, a leading news property that publishes breaking news, analysis, and research about the $7 billion global biometric market.
"We project that the global biometrics market will grow to $15 billion by 2015 from its 2012 estimated value of $7 billion," states Stephen Mayhew, President of Biometrics Research Group Inc., an independent market research consultancy, which publishes BiometricUpdate.com, the most trusted and authoritative source for news and industry intelligence in the sector.  "The market for automated fingerprint identification systems and fingerprint biometric technologies account for the greatest share of the global biometrics market and is forecast to continue to be the main source of overall market revenues from 2010 to 2015. We believe the fingerprint modality was valued at $5 billion in 2012 and is expected to reach nearly $10 billion in 2015. Face, iris, vein, and voice recognition biometric technologies together form the second largest segment. This sector was worth an estimated $2 billion in 2010 and is expected to reach $5 billion in 2015."
"Biometric technology is advancing faster than many people realize. The consumer and mobile spaces have seen huge gains in the past year, bringing authentication and payment systems to the forefront of this discussion. All the while, security and defense applications are more technologically advanced today than they ever have been and international adoption is soaring.”  -- Adam Vrankulj, Managing Editor, BiometricUpdate.com.

Interview
Investorideas.com: Let's start with a quick recap of 2013 and the start of the first quarter.
SMS: A good place to start. Although many though the year would be all gloom and doom for the sector with the Pentagon's budget on a downward slope from the peak in war spending and the expected impact from sequestration, I held a more moderate view. Although there would be stress in the system, I believed that the rise in sales to international defense customers combined with the upcycle in commercial aerospace spending would offset the U.S. government budget declines and things would not be as bad as some forecasted. But even I couldn't foresee how good a year it would become. By the end of 2013, the SPADE Defense Index has gained 48.18%, nearly 20% more than the gain in the S&P500.
Investorideas.com: And the start of 2014?
SMS: The sector is still at or near its historic high. Year to date, the market is down 0.4% but the aerospace and defense sector is up 3.4%.
Investorideas.com: Any patterns you've seen in the numbers?
SMS: We noticed in 2013 that investors interested in the sector appeared to choose individual companies over fund-related —whether Boeing, which was up 81% in 2013 or Lockheed Martin, which gained 61% while offering a 4% dividend. Toward the end of 2013 and continuing through the beginning of the year, we've noticed an inflow into funds such as PPA. This makes some sense after the sector's significant gains in 2013. The ETF gives exposure to the sector and diversification from positions in any one company. Although most firms reported good numbers in their Q1 reporting, comments from Boeing executives regarding their forecast for 2014 spooked the markets and caused the stock to tumble by more than 11% in a ten day period. Fund products offer diversification which gives some investors comfort so a shift was probably inevitable.
Investorideas.com: How do you see the year shaping up going forward?
SMS: Congress and the White House reaching agreement on an FY-14 budget is a great positive as it starts to clarify what the Department of Defense can and will do with the funds allocated to them. A proposed $535 billion core budget would be $36 billion over the sequester-mandated cap with the administration offsetting this increase by reducing other areas in the federal budget. According to Defense News, as part of the budget deal agreement put forth by Sen. Patty Murray and Rep Paul Ryan, the expected budget to be submitted to Congress on March 4 th for 2015 is roughly $496 billion and it includes about $30 billion restored to the Pentagon in 2014 and 2015. We can start to think of these years as the end of the transition period and a stabilization of the current budget puts us possibly near to the bottom of the budget cycle which should stay flat to improving over the next several years and the budget seeing a boost starting in FY16.
Meanwhile, international sales continue to provide a boost to the domestic market and have a meaningful impact on the bottom line of the large firms. Commercial aerospace, which is still in the early innings of a multi-year cycle, is highlighted by Boeing's backlog for new planes stretching to the end of the decade. Newly announced plans to bridge the 777 with a newer plane in 2020 could stretch the commercial aerospace upcycle to the early part of the next decade fueled by global travel growth.
Investorideas.com: And what concerns would keep investors up at night?
SMS: First, with this Congress and White House, there is always political risk and the plans for defense spending mentioned above could easily change. But at least for the moment, the acrimony appears to be calming down a bit. Second, after such a huge run in the stock market during 2013, some companies are near the top of their valuations. So while economic growth is still expected in 2014, which will help justify their valuations, this year is expected to be more of a stock pickers market. Inflows into ETFs are a signal that investors are confident in a sector and want to stay exposed but might be unsure which firms are the clear winners or which firms are at their peak valuations. While shares in the funds being held by investors are up 50% in just the past two to three months, it is still down 75% from its peak. Although we see the sector performing at least in line with the broader market over the rest of the year, if there is an economic hiccup causing investors to pocket gains and pull funds out of the market, stocks overall would see a decline, not just the aerospace and defense sector.
Investorideas.com: Looking at the future of defense technology, which ones and who do you see as benefitting?
SMS: Glad you asked. I will be spending time at the InvestorIdeas.com Security and Defense Conference on March 11th [2014] in New York City and the event is designed to talk about just this.
While wars are obviously to be avoided if at all possible, the post-war environment has historically been a prime period for innovation. Live conflict gives military commanders and planners a chance to evaluate what worked and what didn't work. And from these discussions needs are identified, a plan of action is put in place, and resources are allocated to develop the systems and technologies to eliminate the perceived shortcomings. While new technologies may spring up that provide the military with a previously unforeseen strategic edge, much of the R&D that occurs fits into one of two categories: (1) fixing problems and meeting needs and (2) developing counter technologies.
Additional opportunities can also come from the wave of military personnel entering or returning to the non-military workforce and take the technologies and the lessons learned in warfare and applying them to more, let's say, mundane applications. Post-war medical services and triage capabilities rise as an influx of trained personnel return to society. The application of GPS and positioning technologies for commercial activities expanded after the Gulf War in the 1990s. Although the military bought many of its commercial handheld devices from suppliers such as Radio Shack (true, by the way), GPS becoming a commonplace tool took off following the war as hundreds of thousands of people gained familiarity and exposure to the technology.
Investorideas.com: So what types of technology can we expect to see a boost in the near-term?
SMS: I think they’d fall into three categories.
First, protect the soldier when they are exposed to dangerous situations; and reduce the weight they have to carry through multi-purpose electronics, better reusable power sources, and new water technologies.
Second, the digital warfighter, namely improving the interoperability of different systems they have to use and not overwhelming the soldier with information; and
Third, cyber which is an ongoing battle that is currently being fought on multiple fronts. Investors should obviously keep their eyes open for opportunities in each of these areas.
Investors should obviously keep their eyes open for opportunities in each of these areas.
Investorideas.com: You also mentioned counter technologies.
SMS: Yes, thanks for bringing that back up. If we look back at the history of warfare, it's always been a concept of gaining an edge over ones enemies or adversaries. Whether better bows and arrow, catapults or more modern examples. The implementation of the tank in World War I was designed to disrupt trench warfare. Advances in guns and projectiles led to armor shielded vehicles which in turn led to anti-tank weapons. Planes led to anti-aircraft and radar technologies which in turn spawned the need for missiles which were faster and harder to shoot down. Satellite sensors and missile warning systems were then developed to prevent enemies from shooting down spy planes and identify the launch of missiles and rockets to provide more time to mount a proper defense. GPS enabled more precision targeting of expensive ordnance so technologies to jam and disrupt the signals were developed. IEDs were used to disrupt U.S. forces in Iraq so technologies were developed to counter whether V-shaped undercarriages of vehicles to divert the force from the explosion to improved armor and plating for vehicles. It's a cycle. Roughly every twenty years for more than a century, new technologies and systems are developed that change the way warfare is conducted. And these revolutions led to the development of counter technologies and counters to the counter. It essentially exists for every system and technology in play.
Investorideas.com: Thank you. Something for our readers to think about.

The Wocket™
Special Guest: David Tunnell, co-founder and chief architect
The world of wallets is about to change. New exciting technologies are making payments easier than ever. However, many credit card holders either do not possess a smartphone or will be reluctant to use their smartphone for mobile payments due to a variety of reasons.
Rather than depend on a potentially unreliable cell phone, NXT-ID introduces a truly next generation digital wallet: The Wocket™. This unique technology takes a very different approach: Instead of replacing the wallet, we are improving it! Our innovative Wocket™ reduces the number of cards in your wallet while supporting virtually every payment method currently available at Point-of-Sale (POS) at retailers around the world including magnetic stripe, EMV/NFC and barcode…all within a secure vault within your wallet.
Now you can use the wallet you know and love, but with The Wocket™ advanced secure electronic wallet technology from NXT-ID.
Recent Media Coverage:
"Retailers Try to Keep Pace With Cybercriminals"
WSJ-Risk & Compliance Journal-Other companies are touting products they say are superior to--and less costly than–pin-and-chip technology. Biometrics company NXT-ID this month announced a checkout technology it said secures payment information before, during and after a transaction, and renders useless any credit card information a criminal may steal in a breach. Software development company Monkeetech last year announced a card fraud prevention system that requires the consumer to undergo an iris scan to prove their identity.

Biometric Stock Alert: Get to Know The Wocket(TM), NXT-ID's (OTCQB: NXTD) Next Generation Biometrically Secure Smart Wallet; Consumer FAQ Released Prior to Launch

SHELTON, CT - February 7, 2014 (Investorideas.com Newswire) NXT-ID, Inc. (OTCQB: NXTD), a biometrics company focused on the growing m-commerce market, today announced the release of new product images and a consumer FAQ for Wocket™ which is set to launch this year. Wocket™ is a smart wallet much like the smart phone and smart watch. NXT-ID is introducing its innovative, patent-pending Wocket™ as the next natural step in the evolution of smart devices.

Answering consumer question number one, "Why buy a Wocket™? ", the FAQ tells us "Wocket™ replaces all the cards in your wallet. Wocket™ keeps all your information private while reducing the number of cards you have to carry with you. Wocket™ is smartest wallet you will ever own."
Credit, debit, ATM, loyalty, gift, ID, membership, insurance, ticket, emergency, medical, business, contacts, coupon, and virtually any card can be protected on Wocket™. Up to 10,000 cards, records, coupons, etc. and up to 100 voice commands can also be stored on Wocket™ and more can be supported with optional additional memory.
In terms of personal security, Wocket™ can assure consumers that private information cannot be accessed or stolen. A combination of voice biometrics, personal PIN or pattern provides multi-factor security for your Wocket™. Wocket™ protects whatever information is stored in it so that it cannot be released to any other individual or device without the user's permission.
Addressing competition in the digital wallet market, NXT-ID notes in the FAQ; "Rather than replace a wallet as many 'digital wallet' technologies attempt to do, we chose to improve the wallet. Unlike other digital wallet solutions that depend on connectivity to choose a payment account, Wocket™ does not depend upon the cloud to select or make a payment."
Other product feature announcements are pending as the Wocket™ launch rolls out but some of the unique features include:
1. Anti-tamper: Wocket™ contains certain anti-tamper components to protect certain secrets used within dynamic pairing authentication and encryption key generation. For instance, these probe-proof parts destroy themselves if probing is attempted as well as protect against man-in-the-middle and other type interrogations.
2. Custom categories: Private information is stored as "softcards" on the Wocket™. These softcards can be grouped via category names customized by the owner so that they are accessible very quickly via an organization method that best suits the owner of the data.
3. Voice cards: Although organization of softcards via user-customized categories enables users to find data faster, the fastest and simplest interface possible is to simply ask for the card. Our voicematch™ algorithm not only enables the user to ask for the softcard, but it also authenticates the owner of the information as he or she speaks.
4. Light Pipe: Wocket™ utilizes a new innovative light pipe technology to provide outstanding visibility even in the darkest environment.
5. Low-Power: Wocket's™ low power features include one of the lowest power touch interfaces and voice processing solutions in the world, providing long-lasting battery life.
6. No charge needed: Unlike many other devices that require a recharge, not only does the Wocket™ provide long battery life, but Wocket™ utilizes replaceable CR-2032 batteries commonly found at any retail store."
The full product FAQ is available to consumers and media at http://www.thewocket.com/ and http://www.wocketwallet.com/.
Interested consumers can also sign up for product info and news alerts in anticipation of the product launch.

Verdi Updates Movie and Investment Progress: Movie goes into Pre-production prior to July 2014; NXT-ID, Inc.'s (OTCQB:NXTD) Wocket, Biometric Smart Wallet Set to Debut this Year

New York, NY, Point Roberts, WA - February 3, 2014 (Investorideas.com Newswire) Investorideas.com, a global news source reporting on leading sectors including entertainment and technology features an interview with award winning movie producer and businessman , Chad A. Verdi of Rhode Island. Mr. Verdi discusses what he believes are his two biggest projects to date in his career; his feature film 'Bleed for This' with an award winning team attached including Oscar-winner Martin Scorsese and the market debut of his largest personal investment, NXT-ID, Inc.'s (OTCQB:NXTD) Wocket, a next generation smart wallet designed to replace all the cards in your wallet.

This interview is a follow-up to an interview in September 2013 where both projects were first discussed. (http://www.investorideas.com/CO/NXT/news/2013/09191.asp)
BLEED FOR THIS tells the true-life story of 5-time world champion Rhode Island boxer Vinny Pazienza as he recovers from a near fatal car accident that left him with a broken neck. He then goes on to win three additional world boxing titles, one of the most incredible and dramatic comebacks in sports history.

Q&A Interview
Q: Investorideas.com
Chad your movie production company just announced the signings of Aaron Eckhart and Miles Teller to you next feature film, BLEED FOR THIS; can you tell us what Hollywood credentials this adds to your stellar cast?
A: Chad A. Verdi
Sure, they are both top names in Hollywood right now, so we are very excited to add them to our cast Aaron Eckhart is a Golden Globe nominated actor, his movies include: THE DARK KNIGHT, OLYMPUS HAS FALLEN, I, FRANKENSTEIN and he will take on the role of Paz's boxing trainer, Kevin Rooney.
Actor Miles Teller, with movie titles including: THE SPECTACULAR NOW, 21 & OVER, PROJECT X, is currently starring in THAT AWKWARD MOMENT, in theaters now, will take on the role of Vinny Paz.
Q- Investorideas.com
The team also includes high profile writer and director Ben Younger and Oscar-winner Martin Scorsese; how significant to your career is it to have this kind of caliber talent on the film?
A: Chad A. Verdi
This is a dream team and is the most exciting project my film production company has been associated with. From the story line of a local come-back boxing legend to the newly signed actors and to have a legend like Martin Scorsese on board is a producer’s dream. A talented writer like Ben Younger will make this film become the heart-felt story of courage and tenacity it is meant to be. I believe this will be one of the greatest boxing films ever made with this team.
Q- Investorideas.com
The movie goes into pre – production in July 2014; what does that entail?
A: Chad A. Verdi
This is where the foundation of the movie is set, locations are found and the key people too make the film are put into place
Q- Investorideas.com
This is a year of big projects coming to life for you. Your investment in NXT-ID, Inc. and its next generation smart wallet, the Wocket, is set to launch this year. What is it like to see it unfold?
A: Chad A. Verdi
A: Chad A. Verdi
I have read a few analysts say that 2014 is the year to watch biometrics technology. We all saw the market and industry reaction last year to Apple incorporating fingerprint recognition technology in its smart phone. It set the stage for an exciting race. NXT-ID, Inc. saw some competition come to market in November with the media launch of a competitor, the COIN. Both products are aiming to replace all the credit cards in your wallet, but I believe that the Wocket is superior with its biometric voice recognition technology and it can also store up to 100 cards, VS. the 8 cards the COIN enables. I think this is a very exciting time in the space and I am thrilled to be behind a game-changing technology. I believe this is my best investment to date. This is bigger than Bleed for This I feel.
Q- Investorideas.com
I see thatNXT-ID attracted an A- team list of talent to launch their product as well with some recent additions?
A: Chad A. Verdi
Yes they recently announced two Former MasterCard executives to Its newly formed Advisory Board. I think if you are going to be a key player in the payment space, you need the right team. I fell just like my film; they are putting together a winning team.
Q- Investorideas.com
We would love to do a follow up with you again once the movie goes into pre-production and the Wocket is launched.
A: Chad A. Verdi
Yes, for sure, both roll-outs will be career hi-lights for me.
