Moneto Adds Mastercard PayPass NFC to Any Google Android Smartphone
This month, DeviceFidelity and Spring Card Systems announced moneto, a new independent NFC payment solution.
The service delivers NFC capabilities to any Android device with a microSD card.
The card contains an NFC radio and antenna that are encrypted together to deliver MasterCard PayPass technology to any Android smartphone.

Additionally, moneto has created a unique iPhone case to deliver the service to iOS users as well. The moneto case is currently available for $80, which includes $10.00 of pre-loaded funds.
The Android microSD card is expected to be available within two to three weeks, and will sell for $30.
All you have to do to use it, is insert the card, attach a small NFC sticker to the inside of your battery case — it helps with the NFC signal — and you’re on your way to credit card-less mobile payments.
