Mobile network provider Orange has announced that 'Quick Tap' contactless payments will be opened to Android phones and all UK credit and debit card accounts.
Mobile network provider Orange has announced that 'Quick Tap' contactless payments will be opened to Android phones and all UK credit and debit card accounts, The Telegraph reports.
Although the company has yet to announce which Android handsets will be compatible with the contactless payments technology, it's the latest step in the evolution of mobile banking - following in the wake of similar applications such as Barclays' Pingit.
'Quick Tap' is a payments system that allows handset users to make transactions of up to £15 simply by waving a compatible phone over a 'reader', which can also be used for contactless credit cards. More than 15 million contactless cards are currently in circulation throughout the UK, and 70,000 outlets (including Subway and McDonald's) already accept the technology.
