Wa!, the multi-service mobile wallet from BNP Paribas, is secured by Gemalto
(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
Amsterdam, Jan. 11, 2017 - Gemalto (Euronext NL0000400653 GTO), the world leader
in digital security, is supplying BNP Paribas, a leading European bank, with
Mobile Protector, a highly secure solution to protect Wa!, an innovative multi-
brand, omni-channel mobile wallet that combines payments, shopping coupons and
loyalty programs. Gemalto's Mobile Protector encompasses an SDK (Software
Development Kit), and both a customer enrollment and an authentication server.
The solution delivers comprehensive security for all mobile payments made using
Wa!. The bank is currently piloting Wa! in France with Carrefour, the world's
second biggest retailer with 12,300 stores across 35 countries.
Wa! enables consumers to enjoy the convenience of swift and secure payments
using nothing more than their smartphone. Once the app has been downloaded,
Gemalto's solution facilitates a simple enrollment process that is activated by
a PIN code sent via SMS. Customers validate payments with their PIN code or
their fingerprint. In addition, coupons and loyalty rewards can be claimed and
redeemed using the same wallet, creating a comprehensive shopping experience
that redefines the relationship between retailers and customers.
Gemalto's proven security expertise played a key role in helping BNP Paribas
achieve the first ever approval of a mobile wallet by GIE-Cartes Bancaires,
France's interbank organization. Mobile Protector offers outstanding user
protection, reflected in its recent certification to the industry-recognized
ANSSI CSPN software security standard. Building on the success of the Carrefour
pilot, BNP Paribas expects to deploy Wa! in partnership with many more retailers
looking to enhance their customers' experience.
"Gemalto provided a perfect fit for our mobile security needs, combined with
ease of use," said Jacek Szpakiewicz, CEO of RMW(1). "The strong involvement of
Gemalto teams throughout the project has enabled us to optimize the integration
of the solution and the development of the application."
"Wa! is a multi-brand, multi-bank, omni-channel and fully secure payment
solution that represents the future of the mobile wallet for banks and retailers
alike," said Philippe Cambriel, President for Europe, Mediterranean and CIS at
Gemalto. "BNP Paribas has successfully turned this bold concept into reality,
demonstrating how stringent standards of mobile security can be married to the
smoothest possible customer journey."
