Vodafone rolls out NFC mobile wallet across Germany

Mobile network operator Vodafone's NFC-based mobile wallet and prepaid SmartPass account is now available throughout Germany, following a trial in the city of Dusseldorf. The service is integrated with MasterCard-owned Trevica's TSM platform, which is designed to make it easy for German banks to deploy NFC payments to Vodafone, Deutsche Telekom and Telefónica Deutschland subscribers, and is available to customers with any of more than ten NFC smartphones including models from Samsung, Sony, HTC and LG.
