Singapore selects Gemalto for mobile NFC ticketing solution

Monday 4 April 2016 10:53 CET | News

Gemalto`s NFC ticketing technology was selected by Singapore to enable public transit commuters to pay their fare using their mobile phone.

Gemaltos UpTeq Multi-Tenant NFC SIM allows commuters to enjoy convenience through the embedded EZ-Link application, taking public transport with just a simple tap of their phone. Mobile network operators (MNOs) and banks can eventually use this platform to provide new value-added services too. 

Besides transport usage, the new mobile payment service is compatible with an existing contactless infrastructure, featuring over 30,000 ez-link terminals from retail stores to food and beverage outlets, and a fleet of taxis. This makes it possible for consumers to leave their wallet at home, by just carrying a smartphone for all their daily purchases.

In the future, the NFC SIM can aggregate loyalty cards and discount coupons, delivering one-stop convenience for the users, according to Gemalto.
