    Is this possible ? For example, McDonalds has contactless payments for sums under 15 euros using NFC bank cards. If I add my card information to my WP wallet, can I use my phone as a payment mechanism instead of a card ? I can't find any examples of this in usage on the internets, but maybe I'm searching the wrong thing

    Does Visa / MasterCard have an NFC Payment app for Windows Phone? Unfortunately, we probably can't do it without that...

    I believe paying using nfc on a phone requires either a special app (provided by a bank or visa / mastercard directly) or a secure sim that enables the functionality, or perhaps both. Nfc wallets in most of Europe at the moment are only used for things like frequent shopper tags, Starbucks, vouchers etc. Shame really as it would be a real killer application of the technology. Ireland would be a perfect test market since we're all using the same standard of nfc on our debit cards, but if you think any of our banks could be arsed making our lives usefully easier..
