6.3 Which quick payment methods does my phone
support?
Your phone supports the following quick payment options:
(1) Use your phone as a bank card or bus card.
There are two methods: You can use an SWP-SIM card and associate it with your carrier's
wallet application, or you can use the HCE application.
(2) Use Huawei Wallet.
(3) Use SMS services. This is the first time that a Huawei smartphone is cooperating with the
industry to provide quick payments using SMS services. When you receive a message
notification for credit card payment, you can touch the "go to payment" link at the bottom of
the message screen to enter the payment screen. When you receive a message notification
about your data plan from your carrier, your phone can identify such a message and display an
option to top up your mobile data volume. After you select this option, the top up screen
automatically displays your phone number. Then, you can select a data amount to top up and
press against the fingerprint sensor to finish the payment. Quick payments will be applied to
more areas, including your utility bills, so you will be able to quickly pay for your water,
electricity, and gas.
6.4 What is HCE?
HCE stands for Host Card Emulation, a new technology in Android 4.4, which was launched
by Google in December 2013. Based on HCE, VISA and China Unionpay have released
regulations for HCE cloud payment technology respectively. A phone application can emulate
a chip card and let you initiate transactions without using your SIM card or microSD card.
(Many major banks in China support this technology, including Industrial and Commercial
Bank of China and China Construction Bank.)
6.5 Does Honor Wallet support NFC payments?
No.
