What are some of WP8 NFC Payment Apps similar to GoogleWallet or ApplePay?

I was browsing the Windows App store and could not find anything? So is SoftCard the only alternative for Windows Phone?

I'll be watching this as I wonder the same thing.

From research, this another segment that Microsoft has to address. It kind up to Microsoft if they want to compete in this segment against the "big" boys! I don't mean Apple's ApplePay or Google's GoogleWallet but CurrentC and others!

But it better for them to start now; then to let it go and then try to pay catch up when Apple has 40% and Google has 40% and Microsoft has 0% because they just did not address this at the start of the NFC payment revolution.

The only thing I've seen that's close is softcard. I haven't used it though.

Softcard is the only NFC one. There's a couple of other similar things, like LevelUp (uses a QR barcode at certain stores), and a bunch of Starbucks card apps, but that's about it.

Just hope in Windows 10; there will be a MicrosoftPay tile.
