Thursday 29 October 2009 13:24 CET | News

French contactless chip technology company Inside Contactless has signed an agreement with Discover Financial Services for the development of future Discover Zip contactless payment devices.

Under the terms of the partnership, Inside has committed to support Discover Zip in upcoming versions of its MicroPass contactless payment platform, and has been designated a preferred vendor for card-based Zip implementations.

The MicroPass 4002 contactless payment processor was designed for Discover Zip contactless payment applications; it provides card issuers with access to a suite of form factors, including chip, module, card inlay, fob inlay (mini, 2D, 3D), sticker or paper ticket configurations.

Discover Zip is accepted at over 60,000 U.S. merchant locations and its payment devices can be issued by banks in many forms. In addition to the traditional bank card or key chain fob, a mini-adhesive card can be attached to personal items that are always at hand, such as a mobile phone, PDA or MP3 player.
