According to the source, trial participants will be sent an iCarte cover to attach to their iPhone devices which will turn them into virtual wallets. The iCarte will prompt users to download the TouchPay app. They will then be able to pay for purchases from their accounts at participating retailers.
Users can choose from two payments settings. The automatic setting allows payments simply touching the phone against the reader, while users will occasionally be asked to enter the passcode to ensure that they’re still in possession of the device. The manual setting requires the passcode to be entered for every transaction.
