U.S. Bank Launches Mobile Payment Service

U.S. Bank has partnered with Visa, DeviceFidelity and Datacard Group to launch a mobile payment service for its BankFlexPerks Visa customers in Salt Lake City, Utah and Portland, Oregon.  

The U.S. Bank Go Mobile service will enable customers to pay for purchases using either the iPhone 4 or iPhone 4 S at participating Visa payWave retailers. 

U.S. Bank customers who qualify for the service can opt-in to receive a customized U.S. Bank Go Mobile iPhone case equipped with NFC capabilities. The case also includes a battery that extends the phone’s charge time over 50 per cent. The NFC case enables consumers to simply “wave” their phone at checkout to make a purchase.

“We have incorporated all of the feedback we have received from prior pilots and our customer research into this latest offering and we are excited to offer U.S. Bank Go Mobile in these two markets,” said Dominic Venturo, CIO for U.S. Bank Payment Services.
