Third French Bank Joins Mobile Payment Test in Nice

Credit Agricole has joined the pre-commercial trial of near field communications services in the French city of Nice.

Credit Agricole joins Credit Mutuel-CIC and BNP Paribas in launching mobile payment for the Nice project. The two other banks had launched services during the latter part of 2010.

About 3,000 users can tap to pay at a limited number of merchant outlets in Nice, along with paying fares on buses and trams and tapping NFC tags in posters for information.
