Is NFC The Future of Payment Processing?

I found this press release yesterday and it just proves again that we are getting closer and closer to payment processing moving towards being conducted on our mobile devices.
“MasterCard Canada, in partnership with Citi Cards Canada and Bell Mobility, has completed the first near-field communications (NFC) trial of Mobile PayPass(TM) in Canada. This was the first trial in Canada to use Bell Mobility’s wireless network allowing trial participants to make purchases using their mobile device at MasterCard(R) PayPass(TM) acceptance locations across Canada. The four-month closed trial was a major step towards bringing mobile payments to Canadian mobile phone users.”

It is my belief that all card processing will eventually be replaced by our mobile phones. With Near Field Communication passing more and more tests, this new technology may replace who we transact in Canada’s marketplace.
