DeviceFidelity and SpringCard launch moneto mobile wallet app for the iPhone

Wednesday 11 January 2012 13:21 CET | News

US mobile contactless payment services company DeviceFidelity and US card reader provider Spring Card have launched the moneto iPhone wallet app.

The app is powered by MasterCard PayPass technology and linked to a reloadable MasterCard prepaid card in order to enable iPhone users to make purchases with their phone at merchants who accept MasterCard PayPass.

The moneto iPhone wallet app uses an NFC-enabled microSD chip embedded in an iPhone case. Users can launch the moneto app to view their account balance, check transaction history and make in-store purchases with a tap of their iPhone at any PayPass-enabled contactless payments reader at the point of sale. Users can fund their moneto prepaid accounts through direct deposit, ACH transfer or cash/credit/debit card-enabled third-party money transfer services such as MoneyGram, Western Union, PayPal or GreenDot.

moneto also comes with a prepaid MasterCard to allow users to access cash at ATMs and make online purchases, pay bills or shop at merchants who do not accept contactless payments. Furthermore, moneto enables card-to-card and wire-fund transfers from an internet portal. The app uses In2Pay technology which allows users to prevent unauthorized access to their account by using a PIN that is stored in a chip inside the microSD.
