NXT-ID, Inc. Releases Video for Wocket™ Smart Wallet Event Held at the Plaza Hotel; See the First Wocket Public Financial Transaction

PR Newswire Association LLC

SHELTON, Conn., June 2, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- NXT-ID, Inc., (OTCQB: NXTD) (OTCBB: NXTD) a biometric authentication company focused on the growing mobile, electronic commerce market, today released the video of its first corporate launch event and press conference for its next generation smart wallet, Wocket™, designed to replace all the cards in your wallet. The event was held in New York City on May 28th at the Plaza Hotel from 3:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m. Attendees included shareholders, Fox News, New York Daily News and other media plus celebrity guest Olivia Culpo, former Miss Universe, Miss USA and Miss Rhode Island.

Mr. <person>Gino Pereira, Chief Executive Officer of NXT-ID said "Meet Wocket, the smartest wallet you will ever own", providing the audience with compelling reasons why they will want a Wocket smart wallet to address current identity theft and credit card fraud problems. 

He told the audience that in the last 18 months there have been over a billion data breaches. When he then turned to the audience to ask who had had their identity or payment information stolen almost half the audience raised their hands.

"A Wocket stores your personal information in a personal vault that is accessed only by you either through your voice or PIN or a customized drawing shape on the screen. It is in there and is safe and secure," he assured the members of the audience.

He also let the audience know that the Company was pursuing a strategy by which Wocket will become a household name. "Many of you have seen our ads on CNBC and we are following with a very strong digital campaign over the next few months," he said.

The presentation closed with Wocket making its first public financial transaction.

Following the event consumers could commence ordering the Wocket at http://www.wocketwallet.com/.
