I just tried this. Card: NAB Visa (payWave). Handset: Nexus 5. Merchant: 7-11.

The app read the card correctly and gave the card number and expiry. When I tried to use it in store the eftpos terminal returned roughly: Err 226 contactless card not allowed. The terminal fell back to swipe/insert mode and the merchant told me 'contactless not allowed'. Inserted the (same) card and paid successfully.

I was disappointed because for me, being able to carry just mmy phone for day to day would be awesome, and NAB has no phone solution yet.
