With Dozens of New Merchant Partners, ISIS Set for Summer Launch

Foot Locker and Macy’s are among the national retailers who have signed up to accept payment from the Isis Mobile Wallet, the product of a mobile payment joint venture created by AT&T, Verizon and T-Mobile.

The Isis wallet is set for launch this summer in two U.S. cities: Austin, and Salt Lake City. Beyond roughly a half-dozen national partnerships (which include Foot Locker and Macy’s), each of the two launch cities is host to dozens of local merchants who have signed up to accept payments from NFC-enabled smartphones powered by Isis.

“Today’s announcement signals the mobile commerce experience has arrived. A strong merchant base in Austin and Salt Lake City will make the Isis Mobile Wallet real for consumers as they choose to use their mobile wallet at many of their favorite merchant locations to pay and redeem offers,” said Jim Stapleton, Isis’ chief sales officer, in a statement.

The official statement lists all of Isis’ merchant partners in each launch city.
