LONDON (Alliance News) - Vodafone PLC Friday launched its Vodafone Wallet mobile payment service in Spain.
Vodafone Wallet is a mobile payment service which allows customers to make payments on their smart phone using near-field communications. This means that customers can use their phone to pay at any Visa contactless payment terminal using the Vodafone SmartPass application, developed with Visa.
The service will launch in Germany in mid-December, and in the Netherlands, the UK and Italy in Spring 2014. Vodafone said it is in talks with other European banks to integrate their card portfolios into the wallet.
Shares in Vodafone were trading down 0.16 pence at 229.79 pence Friday morning.
