So one small feature that I was excited about when getting the S4 was the NFC support, but I only wanted it for the Contactless payments possibilities,
but it appears that in most countries we don't have software to enable this...
I only see apps adding this functionality in the US,
even though many of these apps have been available in the US for some time there appears to be no sign of them coming over to Europe or elsewhere...
Do you think we will see NFC contactless payments become available in a simple way for the S4 before 2014 outside of the US?
Visa paywave should be coming soon

So, aside from the hacked version of Google Wallet that we can't easily top-up, has anyone managed to get any NFC payment systems working on their Nexus 4 in the UK? There seems to be a few around but it's all a bit.... confusing to say the least.
Anybody got anything?
The only one I have working is orange quick tap which is actually a barclaycard app on my galaxy S3 allows NFC payments been using it for a while now , tried to install the apk onto my N4 but its not supported yet .
Sent from either Nexus 4 or SGS3 using XDA premium.
NFC payments UK
So is there anyway I can take advantage of the NFC in my lovely N4 to pay for stuff in the UK? It'd be a real shame if not.

Still nothing?
It's been ages and there's still no visa paywave app.
Got the S4 in the UK and the is no Visa paywave app. Thought it was been pushed as a major selling point of this phone?
I was expecting it too, oh well, will just have to root and then install Google Wallet.
Yes....I got my S4 on the 26th and couldn't find Visa Paywave in the Hub. Had to install GoogleWallet instead. I'm assuming that it will be added in the Hub in the future
Great. . . At first, I was dissappointed that my region gets the quad core version instead of the octacore. Now we don't even have a visa paywave app that samsung said to have preinstalled on the Galaxy S4. I wanted to use the visa paywave since I can't use google wallet on my region.

Quite disappointing indeed not to be able to play around with NFC payments, I was looking forward to this but google wallet is not officially available where I live either.
Actually has anyone seen any recent news related to Paywave on the S4? All I seem to find on the web are articles dating back to late Feb / mid March.

Nope, nothing
I would surely buy more useless things... but they don't want my money...
Hi I live in Greece and in the tv they have a advertisement of visa paywave but I can't.find.anywhere how.to download the app
Does anyone know how to download it
From what I can make out paywave is a Developement kit for visa developer.visa.com/paywavemobile as for being pre-installed what the s4 has the Service Provider Trusted Service Manager built in to the phone instead of needing a sim with it on (this is only what I have found out from reading forums and talking to someone on the uk orange quicktap team. They are in development at the moment but only support s3 and have no idea if they will bring s4 into development or develop the paywave for there own use.
Hi,
I am relatively new to the whole NFC thing. But since i just got my S4 i am keen to use it with my credit cards.
I tried to download GOOGLE WALLET, however, it says on the android market place it isn't available in my country. So i am looking for good solid secure alternatives that people can recommend?
Any help is much appreciated.
Cheers
Me also in the same boat as this is my first phone with NFC would request one of the expert to post an article on NFC
Depending on your country though... In mine, you can sign up for a nfc simcard with your nfc device with your telco and use it with supported banks. There's local apps for that in my country

Theres plenty of ATM machines around my area (even though i live in a non-major city) that use PayWise (Visa)... yet Google Wallet still doesnt support Australia.... I am sure this isnt just an Australian issue, im sure there are plenty of countries with the exact same issue.
Are there any other good secure and trusted NFC applications out there? I mean Google Wallet cant be the only one right???
Just purchased one through ebay and i've read a couple of comments that it may not work in the US. Can anyone confirm?
If you are a native of the US it will work, I read a lot about people who are happy with it. If you're from another region of the world I think it depends if it's supported in your own country and if you got a creditcard (e.g.) which is accepted by Samsung and usable in the US. I'm doing a bit of guesswork here someone please chime in
You would need to flash a rom from a European country that has the Samsung pay service (like Spain), for instance in France there is no Samsung Pay (mostly because visa and mastercard nfc payments are widespread here and there are no Magnetic stripe payments in the country (every cards require a secure element)) so Samsung removed the Samsung Pay app from the French rom of the phone.

This sucks because Samsung Pay is one of the reasons that I wanted this phone. I have the Nexus 6p and do not want to have a phone that is not unlocked with bloat.
I'm really interesting in using Samsung pay, but unfortunately my credit union doesn't support, and probably will not for a very long time. I can't even use android pay. My wife and I were already talking about getting a second account somewhere and I'm wanting one that works with Samsung pay (might as well). She doesn't want Wells Fargo because oh how they ar ed handling her sister's identity theft situation.
I can't find anything up to date on if TD Bank is supported. I know the official list doesn't show it but several article from end of last year say they are going to be supported a long with 14 other institutions. Anyone have a definite answer? I called customer service and the person didn't even know they supported apple and Android pay (says they do on website).
Also is there a better recommendations than TD Bank?
Thanks!
