Mobile Wallet – A Convenient Payment Method
Unique mobile payment experience
The Mobile Wallet is a mobile payment service based on NFC technology. Using the wallet, consumers can pay by just tapping the mobile phone on the payment terminal. This automatic payment mode immediately accepts low-value payment transactions without any further confirmation.
User Payment Control
Depending on the type of mobile wallet in use, a high-value payment needs to be authenticated by the end-customer on the mobile phone or the payment terminal. Different payment properties such as the kinds of cardholder verifications (Mobile PIN, PassCode, mPIN, online PIN, security patterns) can be defined by the issuer.
