Wednesday 22 June 2016 11:29 CET | News

Microsoft has teamed up with MasterCard to launch Microsoft Wallet to Windows Insiders with general availability coming later this summer.

The wallet enables MasterCard cardholders to use their Windows 10 Mobile devices for purchases starting in the US with the Lumia 950, 950 XL and 650.

Microsoft Wallet is a cloud-based payment technology. It leverages MDES (MasterCard Digital Enablement Service), which uses advanced payment technologies –EMV, tokenization and cryptography – to cover the integrity of cardholder information.

Microsoft Wallet can be used at over a million retail locations in the US, where contactless payments are accepted. To enhance the shopping experience, the wallet provides a one-stop shop to store reward and membership cards. As long as it has a bar code, it can be scanned directly from the Microsoft Wallet.
