By: Aseem Gaurav on September 4, 2012


European carrier Orange and Bayclaycard have announced that it will soon allow Samsung Galaxy S III owners make Quick Tap NFC mobile payments with their phones.


The company announced that new and upgrading customers taking the Orange Samsung Galaxy SIII from September 5 can use their handset to make secure contactless payments of up to 20 pounds by simply tapping their phone on the payment terminal at tills across the country. With this new mobile payments system, users can link any Mastercard or Visa debit or credit card to their phone.

In order to perform a payment, a customer has to download an app and activate the secure Barclaycard service. Moreover, those who are activating the service between September 5 and October 5, 2012, will pick up a 50 quid bonus when they activate the feature.

After September 5, you’ll be able to pick up a Samsung Galaxy S III with Quick Tap from Orange stores, orange.co.uk, and Orange telesales.
