KBC Mobile Banking app brings P2P payments to Windows Phone

Banking apps are now arriving on Windows Phone at a steady clip, so Belgium’s KBC Mobile App for Windows Phone is not that big news by itself.

What is however pretty newsworthy is that besides the usual ability to check your balance and make transfers, the app also finally allows Windows Phone users to make payments from smartphone to smartphone using KBC’s ‘scash’ (derived from scan & cash) function using QR code scanning technology.

UK readers would know off a similar service by Barclays called Pingit from which windows phone users are currently and rather annoyingly excluded.

Besides spending the KBC app also aims to help you save, with the ability to set up saving goals and share these via Facebook.

See a video of KBC’s scash in action after the break and find the app in the Windows Phone Store here.
