This week I told you about ING Pay, a new contactless mobile payment system that is also available on the terminals iPhone thanks to a special case and a microSD NFC card. Those from ING they said that there are currently 3800 contactless POS in Romania, much less than what is needed to make the system popular, but the bank hopes that by the end of the year it will have at least 2000 customers of the service ING Pay. Hearing these and seeing their figures for the pilot project run 5 years ago for a similar service, I began to wonder how much interest there is among you for this service.
Abroad there are many people who use systems of this kind, in the USA a new one will be launched that will be compatible with iPhone terminals, so they are successful and will not be withdrawn too soon. In Romania, systems of this kind are new, many people do not know how to use them, but anyone can learn, especially because through them we can leave our wallets at home without problems, if there are enough POS. I for one would be seriously happy if other banks in Romania would take over the ING initiative and implement similar systems, and the answers from this survey could give them the understanding that an initiative of this kind could be successful.
