In a joint statement released this week with specialist company Giesecke & Devrient (G&D), the two companies said technology would be implemented to allow secure contactless payments using mobile phones featuring near field communication.
It said that in the first phase the bank would give iPhone 4 and 4S owners the opportunity to transfer their MasterCard PayPass details onto their smartphone.
