Nice article there.
I'd personally kill to have a service like this. Being able to use your cellphone as a virtual debit card would be awesome! Also nice to see Mvela backing this initiative.

What we need is a means of making payment without the use of a cellphone OR any cards whatsoever.......just simply type a number or something into a terminal and the transaction is complete. No more wallets to carry around.

Like connecting something to a thumbprint or voice recording or something. You 'swipe' your thumb over the reader and then enter your PIN and your good to go....
Think we are still quite a long way from something like that just yet though.

RF implants could be used as identifiers. They throw a code at a receiver and you just select what you want from a console. Alternatively, a user entered code could also be required, thus demotivating criminals from removing said RF implant in a forceful manner, in order to gain access to funds.

I THINK its NTT DoCoMo that have a system where you can load cash onto your cell phone(small amount) and use it to pay for things all over the place.
