The collaboration is set to connect DOCOMO’s domestic payment network to the world, enabling customers using iD mobile credit payments with compatible DOCOMO smartphones to make contactless payments outside of Japan, anywhere MasterCard PayPass is accepted.
The companies plan to start preparation to launch the service in the first half of fiscal year 2013, at which time customers in Japan using both iD mobile credit payments (based on FeliCa technology) and an NFC (FeliCa+TypeA/B) compatible DOCOMO smartphone will be entitled to the new service enabling contactless payments outside Japan. At launch, the service will be available on two new DOCOMO handsets: docomo with series Xperia AX SO-01E and docomo NEXT series AQUOS PHONE ZETA SH-02E.
