Accenture, global management consulting, technology services and outsourcing company, has launched a mobile wallet platform that features integrated analytics and big data functionalities, recommendation tools and security elements.

The Accenture mobile wallet platform allows end-users to manage and operate all their cards, including credit, debit, transport, loyalty and gift cards. The Accenture Mobile Wallet also manages proximity transactions and payments, which can be made through near field communications (NFC) technology or QR codes, with the relevant enabled cards presented at compatible points of sales. In addition, the Accenture mobile wallet allows users to send money to other users or future users.

The Accenture mobile wallet has integrated Bluetooth Low-Energy (BLE) beacons into its service portfolio, which enables customers to complete transactions without an Internet connection.

In recent news, airline company transavia.com has partnered Accenture and Mirabeau, a Netherlands-based agency, focusing on web- and mobile application development.
