The Technology of Credit Cards in Mobile Phones

If you are the type who always uses a credit card for all your purchases and who never leaves home without your mobile phone, then you might like the idea of having these two items in one device. Mobile phone makers are now working to make this happen by using a near-field communication (NR\FC) radio technology to consolidate the mobile phone and credit card into a mobile wallet.

The mobile-payment application is currently being tested in the U.S., Finland, Japan, Germany and some other countries, in which transportation ticketing is primarily used. The idea of the design is that users will just touch their mobile phone to an NFC reader, and then the device will just scan it to access the user's financial information. The mobile phone installed with this technology must be associated with a certain bank or credit card company for it to be used in making payments.

Meanwhile, as to how the technology works, the NFC chip works very similarly to radio frequency identification (RFID) transmitters used in contactless credit cards, except that NFC chip facilitates two-way communication. This means that unlike the RFID tags in contactless credit card, which sends only information, the NFC chip can also receive information. So instead of simply providing your name and credit card number, the chip can communicate with the requesting device. For instance, instead of giving the reader direct access to your account information, the NFC chip will prevent this by telling the device to wait until the owner enters a password on his or her mobile phone's keypad. This feature makes the mobile payment technology a more secure payment than traditional credit cards.
