Isis Mobile — which as you may know is a joint venture created by AT&T Mobility, T-Mobile USA and Verizon Wireless — announced that Chase, Capital One and Barclaycard agreed to enable their credit, debit and prepaid cards to be placed into the Isis Mobile Wallet. Starting from middle of the year, consumers will be able to load their eligible cards into their Isis Mobile Wallet and shop at participating merchants, starting with locations across Salt Lake City and Austin, Texas.
Using the Isis Mobile Wallet, consumers get a convenient and secure way to pay, redeem coupons and present loyalty credentials — all from their phone.
