that's a great piece of tech and quite convenient to.if it interface directly with the mpesa account.hope it willnot go the safari card way,though

your title mentions "NFC sim card" but the article does not mention a SIM card

[quote=wazuaguest]Thats one step back.We are moving away from cards to mobile payments.
Improve on the phone payments to perfection,thats where the future lies.Personally i have reduced the amounts of cards i carry to the point i no longer carry a wallet.[/quote]
Personally i find the whole payment via mpesa using those till numbers to be very tedious. Too many steps for a single transactions, then i have to check if i have the numbers right. With a card, all am doing is check if they have the right bill entered then punch in my PIN, done!

If i can scan the QR code with my phone(after i am satisfied of the amounts) and make payments,that would be the perfect payment system for me

No one is abandoning the use of mobile money, but this will be used in complementary for those places where it is more convenient to swipe a card. As someone pointed out, sometimes lipa na mpesa at the till is cumbersome.
