Google Partners with Citigroup and MasterCard for Android NFC Payments

According to a report from the Wall Street Journal, Google has entered into an arrangement with Citigroup and MasterCard to enable mobile payments on Android phones. The technology, which is currently being tested, would make use of wireless near-field communication (NFC). Customers would be able to wave their device over a reader to pay for items.

Security concerns aside, this would certainly be convenient for users of the system. But it’s not just about neat technology for us, it is also about data. The NFC system would give retailers considerably more data on their customers. Surprisingly, Google is not expected to take a cut of sales.

Sources indicate that the NFC payments will require a special app to be installed and registered on a device to work. Not all phones have the NFC hardware to support the system. In fact, the only phone currently available to take advantage of it is the Nexus S. More phones are expected to come out in the next few months with NFC chips. Would you use an NFC payment system from Google?
