1. A method comprising:
- receiving, by at least one radio frequency identification (RFID) tag, a first interrogation signal from a mobile device in proximity with the at least one RFID tag;
transmitting, in response to the first interrogation signal, a message from the at least one RFID tag to the mobile device, the mobile device to open an electronic wallet function in the mobile device in response to receiving the message; and
receiving a second interrogation signal from the mobile device by a proximity reader to initiate a purchase transaction, the proximity reader being located spaced apart from the RFID tag and the mobile device having opened the electronic wallet function in the mobile device in advance of the mobile device sending the second interrogation signal to the proximity reader to initiate the purchase transaction.
