Canada: Rogers Communications selects Gemalto to secure mobile NFC payment offering

Wednesday 10 October 2012 11:27 CET | News

Canadian communications and media company Rogers has team up with Dutch digital security company Gemalto. Under the deal, mobile payment services currently being pilot tested and coming to market in 2012 on Rogers NFC-enabled devices are set to be secured by digital security technology from Gemalto.

Rogers is expected to deploy the Upteq NFC, Gemalto’s EMV-ready SIM-UICC solution in order to store and secure consumers credentials and card data required to make payments with NFC-enabled mobile devices.

Rogers is deploying the UpTeq NFC to secure payment credentials stored on the high-end SIM for new mobile payment services that are expected to launch in Canada later in 2012, and will leverage the card’s flexibility for the future addition of tap-and-go services including coupon redemption, loyalty programs, transit and other digital identification. The UpTeq NFC device, which has an identical form factor as a conventional SIM, is part of Gemalto’s UpTeq LTE offering.
