Hip Filipinos can now order a coffee, then pay for it with a few taps of their cellphone, no paper money, Eftpos or credit card required. The cash-free caffeine fixe comes courtesy of a new mobile commerce system co-developed by New Zealand's Fronde Anywhere.

Fronde Anywhere - a subsidiary of Fronde Systems Group - says the Philippines deal is one of its largest ever, and has the potential to become its largest if more banks and retailers come onboard.
