Raiffeisen Bank International, one of Austria’s largest banks, is planning to launch contactless-mobile payment with microSD cards and an iPhone attachment.
Raiffeisen Bank International, or RBI, said it would launch its “CardMobile” payment service with a Visa payWave debit application stored on microSDs in a major Austrian city in the second quarter.
The bank called the launch a “rollout,” but it’s unclear if it would put the iPhone attachment on sale generally to customers. Also, there are few contactless terminals supporting payWave or other contactless applications in Austria, at present.
