Update on contactless mobile phone payments
Barclaycard seem to have stolen the show from The Royal Bank of Scotland by announcing that they will be the first to publicly trial contactless mobile phone payments in the UK. Although they haven’t actually given any dates, they’ve just stated ‘Barclaycard is to become the first credit card provider to publicly trial mobile phone payments in the UK.’
The Barclaycard trial will allow selected customers to make contactless payments for £10 or under by touching their mobile phone against a payment terminal.
Following a successful internal trial, the public trial is being used to assess consumer appetite for new payment methods. Other partners in the trial include O2, Visa Europe, Nokia and Transport for London.
