The au WALLET card can be reloaded at au shops or online. Users can check their balance with their au mobile phone.

Under the au WALLET Points Program, cardholders are set to receive au WALLET Points for purchases made with the card. Points can be redeemed when paying au phone bills or making other shopping payments.

In recent news, MasterCard has launched its digital payments technology MasterPass in New Zealand.
