Authored by Mark Hefflinger on September 23, 2003 - 11:10am.
Helsinki -- Finnish cell phone maker Nokia announced on Tuesday that it has joined forces with Visa EU in a deal that will allow customers to use their phones to make secure card payments. The deal will make use of Nokia's "wallet" application, which enables the user to store personal information -- such as usernames and passwords, Visa payment card details, addresses and personal notes -- on a mobile phone, enabling users to pay for ringtones, games and other content automatically on a Visa account. The two companies plan to demonstrate the application and Verified by Visa at the Mobile Commerce World Europe 2003 event in London, Sept. 23-24, 2003.
