The Optelio sticker is a microprocessor-based secure personal device that is set to enable contactless functionality for handsets that do not have contactless features built-in. The Optelio contactless sticker has achieved MasterCard certification and complements the Gemalto services already available for mobile payments.
How it works
By attaching the Optelio contactless sticker to their mobile phones, UniCredit customers are expected to be able to use the contactless feature on payments under EUR 20, while larger amount transactions will require a PIN code. Payments via the service can be made in fast food restaurants, cinemas, supermarkets and other retail outlets across Slovakia, with its contactless payment market of over 3,000 acceptance points in place.
The Slovakian bank is part of UniCredit Group, a European bank present in 22 countries and an overall global network serving approximately 50 markets through over 9,600 branches.
