InComm and Gemalto Deliver Secure Prepaid Mobile NFC Payments
(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
Atlanta, GA and Austin, TX - July 21, 2015 - InComm, a leading prepaid product
and transaction services company, and Gemalto (Euronext NL0000400653 GTO), the
world leader in digital security, today announced a strategic initiative to
offer secure prepaid mobile NFC payment. The InComm Mobile Platform (IMP)
enables mobile wallet providers and merchants to streamline the deployment of
prepaid contactless payments. InComm is leveraging Gemalto's infrastructure to
securely pass prepaid card information from InComm's platform to the consumer's
NFC-enabled mobile device. The credential management is powered by the dedicated
Allynis Trusted Services Hub (TSH) and enables the consumer to immediately use
their prepaid card for fast and convenient mobile payments at participating
retailers.
"The prepaid card market is one of the fastest growing non-cash payments markets
with growth expected at an annual rate of 22% through 2017(1). In this booming
market, we are working closely with InComm to provide bank-grade security during
the mobile provisioning of payment card information," said Sebastien Cano,
President of North America at Gemalto. "The combination of our TSH and InComm's
IMP is facilitating the transition of tangible prepaid to mobile payments."
"Working with Gemalto, InComm now has the ability to offer secure NFC payments
through mobile," explained Michael Parlotto, Vice President of Emerging
Technology at InComm. "Leveraging Gemalto's secure provisioning for retailers
and prepaid product providers transitioning into the mobile arena combined with
InComm's open loop prepaid cards, puts us in a strong position to make the
prepaid experience more secure, convenient and customized for consumers."
