One of the coolest and most underused thing that some smartphones can do is mobile payments with NFC. This technology allows users to add their credit card to their phone and simply tap-to-pay. Unfortunately not every phone has NFC, and even some that do can’t use this. One big reason why is carriers. Enter ISIS.
ISIS is a mobile payment system that has been approved by AT&T, T-Mobile, and Verizon. Users can pay with their phone at over 200,000 retail locations. Last week ISIS Mobile Wallet went live on those carriers for a few Android devices. The goal of ISIS is to be the standard for mobile payments on all platforms. So where is the Windows Phone app?
A Twitter user asked ISIS when they would have an app for Windows Phone. They responded positively by saying “we’re busily working on it.” Hopefully this technology gets built-in to devices with NFC. What do you think about mobile payments? Would you pay with your phone if you could?
