The two big telcos, Singtel and Starhub, have both released statements announcing the arrival of the new 'tap and pay' service. Initially the service will be limited to small ticket items such as bus rides, convenience items and drinks at bars (not exactly what I'd refer to as a small ticket item when I'm out on the lash but I think I get the picture).
Two payment platforms are being tested. One is a pay as you go Top-Up Card system and the other is a revolutionary system which connects to your bank account via a mobile network.
I'll give it a year before you can get one at the Carphone Warehouse.
