Tip.ly puts a new spin on mobile payments with facial recognition and reviews

<p>Las Vegas is the town that tips built, so it’s fitting that Stephen Campbell and Tim Baldwin chose the gambling mecca’s backbone, the Strip, to launch a new mobile payments app called Tip.ly (https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/tip.ly/id798034508). Vegas is a city driven by cash—you can’t tip out your valet, bellhop, or housekeeping service with a credit card. But Campbell and Baldwin are betting they can bring tipping into the 21<sup>st</sup> century with an app that combines Venmo-like peer-to-peer money transfers with a dash of facial recognition.</p><figure class="medium right">(https://cms-images.idgesg.net/images/article/2014/11/tiply_face-100528894-medium.jpeg) <figcaption>
<p>Tip.ly's facial recognition technology confirms the identity of the tip recipient.</p><p class="jumpTag"><a href="/article/2843805/tip-ly-puts-a-new-spin-on-mobile-payments-with-facial-recognition-and-reviews.html#jump">To read this article in full or to leave a comment, please click here[/url]</p></section></article>
