Scope:
Trial
Status:
Completed
One of the first NFC trials held anywhere, KPN and the Roda JC football club enabled fans to have their season passes stored on the handsets, which they tapped as they entered the stadium. They could also load electronic cash on the devices, which the fans used at food stands and shops in the venue. They were reportedly able to check the purse balance on their handset screens. The trial lasted about six months.
NFC Times Take:
KPN also launched NFC trials for retail payment and loyalty, but has been quiet of late with the technology.
