CEO Josh Reich announced it will collaborate with Visa for its banking cards and will leverage partnerships with BanCorp and CBW, which are both FCID insured.

Good-bye to credit cards, traveller's cheques and cash: by the year 2012, we will be paying via cellphone. It should be enough to hold the phone near a terminal, and the amount will be automatically withdrawn from your bank account. Whether for paying the baker or hairdresser, supermarket or pharmacist, the mobile phone will become a money machine. At least, that is how six major banks, which have formed a consortium with French mobile operators and two credit card companies, see it. France is a world leader in this technology, and Payez Mobile has already gone a long way. It has launched a large scale field trial, equipping 1000 people with mobile handsets outfitted with a short-range radio, to see how the system works in practice. Paris is home to the headquarters of Orange, France Telecom's mobile operator, which is a major participant in the project.

In order for the connection to work, the operating system on your phone has to support this technology. In some IPhone versions, for example, tethering access is blocked. If you use tethering through a WiFi phone, it will become an access point for the other WiFi devices to connect to.
