Visa demos payment technology at GSMA Mobile World Congress

Friday, February 13, 2009 in News

Visa Europe and Visa Inc. will be showcasing the latest technology in payments at the 2009 GSMA Mobile World Congress. In addition, Visa executives will discuss how Visa is helping to drive the convergence of financial services and mobile technology.

Visa will use real world examples to demonstrate how its technologies in mobile payment technologies can enhance consumers’ daily lives.


Visa mobile product demonstrations will include:

  • Visa Mobile on Android: In December, Visa launched the first commercial service in the U.S. that provides mobile offers, transaction alerts and a locator service. Visa Mobile is available on mobile devices powered by Android, including the T-Mobile G1(TM) phone.

  • Mobile Visa payWave: secure mobile point of sale payments using Visa payWave embedded in a mobile device. Visa will demonstrate both NFC-based and SIM-based contactless payments.

  • Mobile Money Transfer: A demonstration of handset-to-handset and online-to-handset money transfer.

  • Mobile Transaction Alerts: Near real-time notification of card purchase activity delivered to the mobile device.

  • Mobile Offers: Targeted offers and coupons delivered directly to the mobile device and redeemed at near-by merchants.

  • Mobile Merchant: Convenient cashless transactions on the move. Mobile merchants, such as a pizza delivery service, can accept Visa payments with the help of enhanced mobile handsets that double as a mobile acceptance device.

  • Smart Poster: Co-branded mobile posters, signposting nearby coffee shops with the offer of exclusive mobile ‘buy one, get one free’ offers.
