Windows Phone users in South America will be able to use their handsets to make mobile payments thanks to Banco do Brazil. The financial institution recently launched a service allowing Android users to tap their phone to a POS terminal to make a payment using NFC. Now, the bank’s vice president of Retail Business says that the service is coming to iOS and Windows Phone.
Android 4.4.2 and higher is currently supported, and bank customers with Ourocard Visa credit cards can make mobile payments. The service also requires the use of the Ourocard app. The good news for Windows Phone users is that once the bank starts allowing them to make mobile payments, no changes will have to be made to the app since it already supports the platform.
