Norwegian Valyou NFC wallet ends activity

Thursday 19 November 2015 00:25 CET | News

The Valyou NFC mobile wallet developed by Norwegian mobile network operator Telenor and DNB is to shut down due to lack of user adoption.

Slow activation of NFC-enabled POS terminals and slow engagement of banks and mobile operators into the cooperation are cited as the main reasons of low user uptake.

Existing Valyou users will continue to pay with Valyou in stores until 30th November when the service will be stopped. Their SIM cards and all bank cards in their mobile wallet will be automatically deleted by the user’s bank.

Valyou launched in Norway in November 2014.
