LAS VEGAS-Wednesday 30 October 2019 [ AETOS Wire ]
(BUSINESS WIRE)--
Money20/20 -- Mobeewave, a pioneer in contactless mobile card payment
acceptance, and IDEMIA, the global leader in Augmented Identity, have
announced an expansion of their partnership to deploy NFC-enabled
contactless payment acceptance and validation on mobile devices across
Australia.
The
two companies have collaborated since 2017 to deliver a white-labelled
mobile point of sale (mPOS) application, leveraging IDEMIA’s
world-leading Digital Enablement Platform, for acquirers such as
Commonwealth Bank of Australia, that enables merchants to accept debit
and credit payments by tapping contactless cards and digital wallets
onto NFC-enabled devices; without the need for dongles, cables or
additional hardware.
They
have also developed a fare validation app allowing transit officers to
validate contactless payment fares using off-the-shelf devices. This has
seen significant success with two hundred thousand travellers validated
since launch.
“We’re
excited to expand our strategic partnership with Mobeewave. Our
companies are aligned with our vision of driving frictionless and
effortless payment acceptance and validation across Australia. Through
Mobeewave’s patented, PCI-compliant contactless payment processing
platform, and by leveraging our Digital Enablement Platform, we are
paving the way for Australia to be a world leader in frictionless,
effortless and secure payment innovation,” said James King, Senior Vice
President of Sales and Global Markets, Digital Business Unit, IDEMIA.
“Bricks
and mortar businesses are increasingly frustrated with the complexities
of accepting payments. Ninety-seven per cent of all Australian
companies are micro and small businesses*, and they have been
underserved for far too long by the lack of easy, frictionless and
affordable card payment acceptance solutions. What’s more, together with
IDEMIA, we have been able to adapt our technology to provide public
transport companies with a simple payment validation tool, driving
innovation and simplicity across a variety of sectors. We look forward
to broadening the scope of our partnership with IDEMIA across
Australia,” added Benjamin du Haÿs, co-Founder, Mobeewave.
