Aussie bank debuts Kaching app, accompanying iCarte case for mobile payments on iPhone 4

This certainly is not the first time we have seen an try to bring NFC to the iPhone, however the Commonwealth Bank of Australia certainly deserves kudos for integrating the iCarte case with its mobile payment app called Kaching (think Ka-ching). Available as a standalone free application, Kaching allows users to send money to others, either via text message, email or through Facebook. For those seeking to dig deeper, an iCarte case is perhaps purchased for $54.95 from inside the app, which permits the iPhone 4 and 4S for use for mobile payments in any respect PayPass terminals. From within Kaching, users may check account balances and decide which card they care to pay with. All in all, it feels like one sweet (albeit temporary) solution.
