Visa Europe is set to launch a new mobile payments service that will tokenize payment card data. The move could pave the way for the European rollout of Apple Pay. Visa Europe’s peer-to-peer payments service will not be available in the United States or Japan. The service will also allow payments to be made via multiple social networks and messaging applications, including Facebook, Twitter, WhatsApp and LinkedIn. Apple Pay’s October 2014 launch in the U.S. was tied to Visa Europe having introduced tokenized payment systems there, experts say.”]
