Cette nouvelle annonce concerne cette fois-ci le Mexique et le paiement est par SMS, extrait :
« Telephone operators Telefonica and Iusacell are teaming up with big banks such as Citigroup and BBVA to launch the service, marketed at first toward technology savvy teenagers and expected to debut over the next few months. “
“Cell phone users will be able to have their bank link their savings account to their telephone so they can make payments to participating stores, restaurants and taxis by sending a text message.”
