NFC (http://mobile.engadget.com/tag/nfc)) payments for quite some time (http://mobile.engadget.com/tag/visa), and it's now teamed up with DeviceFidelity in the hope of bringing them to even more cellphone users. That company makes (among other things) a contactless payment system contained on a microSD card which, when paired with Visa's own payWave (http://mobile.engadget.com/tag/paywave) system, will let you use just about any microSD card slot-equipped cellphone to make pay contactless payments at between 50,000 to 60,000 merchants in the US. Exact specifics are otherwise a bit light, but Visa says trials are scheduled to begin in the second quarter of this year.Visa teams with DeviceFidelity for contactless payments via microSD card (http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/18/visa-teams-with-devicefidelity-for-contactless-payments-via-micr/) originally appeared on Engadget (http://www.engadget.com) on Thu, 18 Feb 2010 13:16:00 EST.
