Turning Handsets Into Mobile Wallets

摘要

Sagem Orga has announced it is participating in the contactless mobile phone payment trial of Australia's largest mobile operator Telstra, along with National Australia Bank and Visa International. The project is an 'Australian first' and one of the world's first NFC trials storing a bankissued payment application on the mobile operator-controlled SIM card. The contactless mobile phone payments trial involves a group of 200 consumers and 12 merchants in Melbourne. Consumers can download an NAB Visa credit card software application onto their Telstra mobile phone SIM card. Afterwards they are able to pay for goods or services simply by waving their mobile phone over a reader device at the merchant's store.
