T-Mobile in Poland, as expected, today unveiled its planned NFC commercial service, planning to launch before the end of the month with a credit application issued by Polbank EFG that supports MasterCard PayPass.
The announcement today follows one Monday by Orange Poland of its own NFC payments service, with a prepaid mobile payment card, Orange Cash, issued by BRE Bank.
Orange beat T-Mobile with the announcement but T-Mobile appears intent on actually launching its NFC service first. According to an announcement by Polbank, the T-Mobile launch will happen Oct. 29, two days ahead of Orange Poland’s planned Nov. 1 start.
