A local bank has introduced a new credit card function for smartphones. Clients who save their banking information onto their phone’s memory card can use the phone as a digital wallet and eliminate the need to carry a plastic credit card.
Customers at this fast food restaurant can order from their table and pay by holding their cell phone over the menu, without ever speaking to the cashier.
Once the order is confirmed the food is prepared and then delivered straight to the table. These customers were happy with the convenient service.
To get a drink, all you have to do is wave your phone near the sensor of a vending machine. Your phone can also be used to pay for the bus or MRT. To take advantage of this service, first ask your bank to save your credit card information onto an SD memory card, then just put the card into your phone. The phone then serves as a digital wallet. Safeguards are also in place if the phone is ever lost.

It’s the same as a traditional credit card. If you lose your phone, just report it to your credit card company.
Widespread smartphone use has made banks confident in the future of phone credit card services. But for now, this function is only available for Android users with phones that take SD cards and have near field communication capability.
