NFC Pass facilitates payments to be reduced from current accounts instead of depending on pre-paid cards, which have to be topped up before making mobile payments.
The company said that it will launch the NFC Pass on Windows Phone by the end of 2014.
Orange Poland has selected mBank as its first banking partner in the country and the service is currently available to customers with an mBank current account and a compatible Android NFC phone.
Orange Poland marketing director Dariusz Boduch was quoted by NFC world saying that, "Poland is a market where contactless payments is accepted very well and already more than half of all payment terminals enable you to pay by this method."
