Meanwhile, Commonwealth Bank has introduced Mastercard's contactless payment tech PayPass into its credit cards, following a trial in NSW that lasted six months and involved 35,000 participants. Commonwealth has included the technology on most of the credit cards it has sent out recently -- a total of over 300,000 to date, with 60,000 new PayPass cards being issued every month. Both Commonwealth and the NAB/Visa/Telstra experiment allow users to make purchases of AU$35 and under without secondary verification; users making purchases over that amount will be asked to enter a PIN code to authenticate the payment. The ill-fated Tcard, initially conceived as a smartcard ticketing system for Sydney transport, is another well-known example of contactless tech.
