Tuesday 20 July 2010 11:28 CET | News

Dutch digital security company Gemalto has partnered Thai financial services provider Kasikornbank and Thai telecommunications operator Advanced Info Services (AIS) in a bid to support the launch of Near-Field Communication (NFC) applications in Thailand. The service is the first pan-Asian deployment for Gemalto’s certified TSM centre in Taiwan.

Mobile NFC aims to open up a new dimension for Thai consumers, transforming their mobile phones into contactless devices for touch-and-go applications, such as payment at retail outlet partners. Gemalto is entrusted with the management and preparation of sensitive user information from Kasikornbank to operate secure over-the-air (OTA) personalization services that enable mobile subscribers to gain access to NFC payments and AIS services.

Gemalto delivers digital services for mobile connectivity, identity and data protection, credit card safety, health and transportation, e-government and national security.
