Im looking for the app to use visa paywave, or if not then any other app or system that allows payments with your phone.

Is there any app or way to do it in the UK already?


Thanks

Don't think there is an app (= software) for that.
However there IS hardware for that: NFC, Near Field Communication. Built-in in most flagship phones.
In other words only in a minority of the phones out there. Plus the receiving end, like cash registers etc., need to be able to process it too.
So not enough enabled phones and not enough 'opposite' enabled receiving apparatus yet to make it a viable general payment system.

There are live trials with NFC-based payment systems in some countries on the European continent going on, or about to start this year.
Don't know about the UK.

My phone is an lg g2, I got NFC.

Just needed the app and/or system going already, I read visa was gonna put it out on december last year so was hoping it was already out by now (guess not)

This is super lame, wtf is it slowing down the process of having some app or system to work with already.. gz..
