Delegates will make use of the service on an Xperia smartphone provided by Sony Mobile Communications and using wallet technology developed by Telefonica Digital.

The app will come preloaded with EUR 15, allowing delegates to make payments at contactless payment terminals across the Fira Gran Via. In addition, the app will allow payments at Visa contactless payment terminals in stores, commercial centres and city markets, as well as taxis installed by CaixaBank around Barcelona.
