Though as I understand from the source this also acts as an emulator, so if you scan your phone it may replay those card details, worth keeping in mind.

  I'd love this. My bank wants me to pay $2.99 for a sticker to go on the back of my phone (to do contactless purchases) while supporting Galaxy S* phones natively...

    Google Wallet's "Tap and Pay" works with select phones in the US: https://support.google.com/wallet/answer/1347934?hl=en https://support.google.com/wallet/answer/1347934?hl=en You might also be interested in Coin: https://onlycoin.com/ https://onlycoin.com/

      Sounds to me like his bank is the Commonwealth Bank of Australia(1), so Google Wallet is a non-starter. Coin is interesting, but the payments landscape in .au is rapidly moving away from card swipes to Paywave/Paypass. I've seen quite a few places that offer Cash or Tap, no swipe (I presume because of the fee structure). 1) https://www.commbank.com.au/paytag https://www.commbank.com.au/paytag

        Commonwealth Bank charge $2.99 a year regardless of what you want to do. To use their Android app, they also bill you that to have the functionality turned on.

          The annual fee is not applicable in case of the PayTag (https://www.commbank.com.au/personal/can/can-tap.html https://www.commbank.com.au/personal/can/can-tap.html). Also, can you refer me to the doc that mentions the extra cost of using the Android app for that purpose?
          • XorNot 12y ago
            The Android app itself says it (I have it open right here).

        Correct!

  I'll try using my phone to buy coffee tomorrow, and let you know how it goes ;) (Aus, big four bank, not Commbank...)
