This morning, Visa and Samsung have announced a major agreement regarding mobile payments and the future of Samsung’s NFC-capable lineup. According to the agreement, all NFC-enabled devices from Samsung will launch with Visa’s payWave application, as well as Visa’s Mobile Provisioning Service, allowing banks to load payment account information securely over-the-air to your Samsung device. 

Yesterday Google officially launched their much anticipated NFC-payment system, Google Wallet. Unfortunately, a Citi MasterCard or a Google PrePaid card were the only payment options available. However, less than 24 hours after launch, Visa has now partnered with Google and will be joining the Google Wallet Team. Their debit, credit and prepaid cards will now be linkable to Google’s new service.

The only ones left out of the party are now Discover and American Express, however Google has said they could be added in the future. Visa’s full press release can be found after the break.
