Are you in Norway? Every Visa and Mastercard issued by Norwegian banks should have BankAxept too. So every time you use contactless itโ€™s BankAxept and if your bank allows Tรฆpping in Vipps you can use it on your phone too.

    Unfortunately I'm not in Norway, but Denmark. Closest thing we have here is Dankort, but that's tied to Visa for now, which ain't ideal.

    I thought it was independent, but just falls back to Visa or MasterCard whenever Dankort is not supported? Which is, of course, everywhere outside of Denmark...

    Always wondered how Vippsโ€™ feature set is in Denmark compared to Norway. Does it allow for contactless payment?

    I actually thought the whole contactless pay in Vipps came from the Danish equivalent when they merged.

    I think contactless in Vipps is from a cooperation with BankAccept, which makes sense as both of these services are backed by Norwegian banks.

    I'm not aware of contactless payment in MobilePay, and I wouldn't expect it over night when it changes to Vipps as it would require Dankort support. Probably their priority is to support the European payment system so that it can work across borders effortlessly.

    Right now, contactless payment using Norwegian Vipps wouldn't work in Denmark because BankAccept doesn't work there. At least I'm fairly sure of this - as I said Vipps has stopped working on my phone. ๐Ÿ™ƒ
