Emirates National Bank of Dubai announced today the launch of the "MoneyMobile," a contactless payment solution that will enable customers to pay for purchases with a single wave of their contactless mobile device.
Today's announcement follows the recent roll-out of an (Near Field Communication) NFC-branded mobile device, among select staff at Emirates NBD, Etisalat, Visa and Gemalto, who will be testing the device during this initial phase.

As one of the market leaders in the provision of payment solutions, Visa is committed to accelerating the global shift towards electronic payments and has a long track record of creating innovative solutions that meet the ever-changing needs of consumers. That's why we're so delighted to be partnering with Emirates NBD and Etisalat to develop this exciting initiative in the UAE. Users will enjoy the ease and convenience of simply scanning their phone to pay as they breeze through the checkout in stores where they see the Visa payWave sign," Siddiqi added.
