Danish operators to develop common platform for NFC payments
Danish mobile operators Telia Denmark, TDC, Telenor Denmark and 3 Denmark joined forces to develop a single system for near field communication (NFC) m-payments across all mobile networks. The four operators said the new partnership will ensure access to a secure and convenient digital wallet service for both end-users as well as all the operators who wish to offer mobile payment services. Making purchases with the service will be possible by using phones with NFC-enabled SIM cards. One of the customer advantages of the service is that customers will not experience the slightest change in the use of their digital wallet when they switch operators. The four operators estimate that the digital wallet will be widespread within a few years.
