Users of CBA’S Commbank Kaching app can purchase an iCarte case
for their iPhone, which aims to turn their phone into a wallet
by using NFC technology to allow contactless ‘tap and go’
payments to be made. The majority of CBA’s apps functionality
can still be used without the iCarte case, which just enables
contactless ability.

In October 2011, CBA processed over 1m MasterCard PayPass
transactions.

CBA’s Commbank Kaching app is available to download free from
the App Store.
