Though the decision was made for a rebranding to distance ISIS from the ongoing violence in the Middle East, the mobile payment venture has not disclosed what its new name will be in the future.</p> <!--break--> <p>"However coincidental, we have no interest in sharing a name with a group whose name has become synonymous with violence and our hearts go out to those who are suffering," the company said in a statement. "As a company, we have made the decision to rebrand."</p> <p>ISIS' tap-to-pay NFC service is available on a number of Android handsets available through AT&amp;T, T-Mobile, and Verizon. Additionally, Apple's iPhone, despite the lack of a built-in NFC radio and chip, can also be made compatible with the ISIS payment service through a third-party case (http://www.imore.com/nfc-payments-isis-finally-actually-coming-iphone) that integrates the NFC radio and connects to the phone via either the Lightning port or the 30-pin dock connector.</p> <p>Source: ISIS (http://news.paywithisis.com/2014/07/07/isis-wallet-rebranding/)</p> </div></div></div><div id="comment-wrapper-nid-25583"></div><img width='1' height='1' src='http://tipb.com.feedsportal.com/c/33998/f/616881/s/3c42e92a/sc/15/mf.gif' border='0'/><br clear='all'/>
