NFC TIMES Exclusive Insight – Belgium’s Belfius Bank said it signed up 25,000 users within a three-week period recently for its HCE-enabled mobile payments service that it has launched as part of its mobile-banking app.
The bank has made the mobile payments service available to all of its customers with compatible Android phones this week, after trialing and progressively expanding the service since April. NFC Times first reported the project in March.
Belfius said it launched its full commercial rollout of the service June 15, two weeks ahead of schedule, with equensWorldline providing the HCE and other technology support.
