Thursday 17 June 2010 11:26 CET | News

US financial services provider Valley National Bank has teamed up with mobile financial services company Bling Nation to offer mobile payments to its customers and community.

Bling Nation provides mobile payments services that connect financial institutions, businesses and consumers through tap-and-pay for purchases at the point of sale.

Customers with a checking account at Valley National Bank can new sign up for a BlingTag, a quarter-sized microchip sticker that adheres to the back of their mobile phone to enable debit transactions directly from their account.

Each time a purchase is made using a BlingTag, the consumer receives a transaction confirmation and account balance by text message. The BlingTag does not store personal consumer information, thus lowering the risk of exposure to identity theft and fraud.
