Swiss NFC payments trial 'success'

Ninety per cent of Visa payWave users liked the ease and convenience.

Credit Suisse, PostFinance, SIX Multipay, Swisscard, Swisscom and Visa have concluded a pilot study of contactless payments using Near Field Communication (NFC) enabled mobile phones in Switzerland.

More than 90 per cent of people who took part liked using the technology for its ease and convenience. The same percentage also said they would use NFC payments when it becomes commercially available.

In the next phase a working group will gauge the best available solutions for expanding the number of acceptance points in Switzerland.
