According to the information, Huawei users will now have one unified digital wallet for all cards with access to cashback options from hundreds of popular brands and a 360 view of all spending with insights, budget, and control settings, all available in numerous currencies.
The new launch covers most of the European markets regardless of the bank type. These markets include:

In addition to these features, Huawei customers will also be able to access fair exchange with no free of charge.
“Huawei users can now pay by phone, it’s as simple as that. We now have a proven, easy to use and highly functional mobile payment solution, which is bank and card agnostic, making it ideal for our consumers, dispersed in so many different countries in Europe” said Derek Yu, President of Central Eastern Europe, Nordic and Canada Region. “This is particularly great news for HUAWEI P50 Series users who will be able to access the app and immediately start making use of their smartphone to make NFC-enabled contactless payments”.
Other Features:
Unlike other mobile wallets, should Huawei users decide they have paid via the wrong card, they can move past payments from one account to another through Curve’s ‘Go Back In Time’ feature.

“We’re on a mission to simplify people’s financial lives and launching Curve Pay for Huawei customers allows us to help even more people, across Europe, do just that. Everybody should be able to access smart payment solutions and we’re proud to support more people with contactless payments, rewards, and ultimately, simplicity and convenience,” said Shachar Bialick, Founder and CEO of Curve.
