Visa Europe and Wireless Dynamics today announced that they have developed a mobile contactless payment solution that will bring Visa contactless payments to iPhone users across Europe. iPhone users simply attach the Wireless Dynamics iCarte accessory, available through their bank or mobile operator, to their iPhone and download the companion Visa Mobile application for iCarte App from the App Store.
