Microsoft Win10 pays new tricks against Apple Pay

Computer Store News: After Google acquired Softcard, Windows Phone lost its only NFC mobile payment solution. A new Microsoft document suggests that Microsoft will soon set up its own mobile payment system.

According to Faisal Khan, a bank payment system consultant, Microsoft has applied to create Microsoft Payments Inc. Microsoft is also registered with the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network. Although this may be the prototype of Windows10's new payment in the future, it does not rule out that Microsoft is a placeholder for the time being.

Mobile payment is expected to become popular due to the introduction of Apple Payment, but it is still not an efficient and popular payment method. Although Google Wallet has been promoting it, it has had little effect. Google and Apple will also face competition from Samsung LoopPay. Samsung recently acquired LoopPay, which currently covers 90% of retail outlets.

Of course, Microsoft has recognized the urgency and future importance of mobile payments, but when can it really be used by Microsoft? The specific time is hard to say, but at the WinHEC conference in Shenzhen, Microsoft mentioned it.
