Verizon and American Express can't be bothered to wait for more NFC-compatible devices to enter the market. No, they are kickstarting the mobile payment revolution themselves with a new joint venture that will tie your phone number directly to your Serve account. Serve, as you may recall, is American Express' PayPal-like payments solution designed to eventually ride into the sunset on the back of some NFC-capable horse, but for now it will be relegated to a more simplistic approach. Verizon users will be able to enter their mobile number during an online checkout, provide a pin, and make a payment directly from their Serve account.
