Taking into account the leading positions of Android platform on the Russian market, the banks will benefit from introducing the new payment system, representative of B&N Bank Pavel Mikhalev said, as quoted by the media.

NFC technology among other functions turns the smartphone into a virtual bank card. In order to make a payment the owner should place the smartphone against the terminal, the money is then written off the owner’s bank card. The same technology is used in Visa PayWave and MasterCard PayPass payment systems. Android smartphones currently occupy the biggest share of the Russian smartphones market with 87 percent, according to the Euroset mobile retailer's data.
