Microsoft Introduce Microsoft Payments With Window 10 Mobile

After Apple, Google and Samsung, Microsoft is getting nearer to its own payments obtaining. The so-called “Microsoft Payments” is all but confirmed currently and can make an appearance once Windows 10 for phones hits the market.

A similar “tap to pay” feature has already been shown at a Windows hardware partners’ conference in China. The service,  like Apple Pay and others uses NFC for payments and supports Host Card Emulation on Windows 10, which means you won’t need a SIM card or carrier support in order to hold out transactions.



It’s still not better-known whether some sort of secondary encryption within the form of fingerprint scanners will be necessary, but Windows 10 does support a large range of encryption ways, as well as iris, face and biometric-sensor support.

That’s to not say that wireless payments haven’t been offered on Windows Phones up till currently. Microsoft has already partnered with PayPal to support PayPal Here while a few third-party app developers such as Softcard already have their solutions for Redmond’s Mobile OS.

However, this will be the first time that Microsoft itself is working as a primary entity in this cause. With a relatively limited reach until now, it'll be interesting to see whether the new service, which will get a formal launch soon catches fire or not.
