I love new technologies, but the abandonment of cash for a technology is not going to be one I adopt. And if businesses want money off me, they had better accept what I have (the real reason "the customer is always right" is that the customer wants to give you money). Where is the anonymity? I do not use store cards, nor credit[1]/debit cards in physical shops anymore, because I don't feel the stores and banks trending is worth anything to me. What happens when your battery dies? Even a credit card doesn't have that problem! What will the tranaction fees be, or what will be the cost overhead to run a system like this? Because debt cards exist only for convenience, and not to make profits for Visa etc.!! [1] I recommend people call credit cards what they actually are: debt cards. And by using the correct adjective in the name, you'll be less inclined to use the thing, saving you money. You must be joking.

Paypal mobile can also withdraw the money directly from your regular bank account. You don't need to have the money sitting around in an account dedicated specifically to mobile payments.
