Telefónica Digital and Research In Motion are piloting a mobile wallet for BlackBerry smartphones. Working with local banks and retailers, they are rolling it out to 350 employees at Telefónica's HQ in Spain, with an eye on launching into several markets next year.

The Telefónica Wallet currently supports the following NFC-enabled smartphones: BlackBerry Bold 9900, Curve 9360 and Curve 9380. Julio Linares, COO at Telefónica, S.A, says: “We have chosen the BlackBerry solution for this pilot because of the security that the platform brings. RIM’s participation has been important for this pilot project, and we are now planning to extend the project to more and more Telefónica employees around the world."

"We are getting ever closer to the point where our customers will be able to take the contents of their wallets and put them on their mobiles," says Matthew Key, Chairman and CEO at Telefónica Digital. "Trials such as this are important to ensuring a great customer experience and we look forward to seeing the launch of commercial wallet services in several markets next year."
