A method of application initialization of a near field communication (NFC) enabled device comprising:
- loading a first NFC enabled device with an application for conducting a financial transaction over a network;
- and
- transferring the application to a second NFC enabled device via a NFC link, wherein the application comprises a service provider application for enabling the sending and receiving of data between the second NFC enabled device and a service provider, wherein the first and second NFC enabled devices are smart phones, and wherein the data comprises contact information directly communicated between the first and second NFC enabled devices for sending a payment from the first NFC enabled device to the second NFC enabled device, wherein a sender enters a payment request into the first NFC enabled device prior to receiving the contact information from the second NFC enabled device.
A near field communication (NFC) enabled device adapted to receive an application for conducting a financial transaction over a network from a second NFC enabled device via a NFC link, wherein the application comprises a service provider application for enabling the sending and receiving of data between the NFC enabled device and a service provider, wherein the first and second NFC enabled devices are smart phones, and wherein the data comprises contact information directly communicated between the first and second NFC enabled devices for sending a payment from the first NFC enabled device to the second NFC enabled device, wherein a sender enters a payment request into the first NFC enabled device prior to receiving the contact information from the second NFC enabled device.
