ToneTag supports YES Banks payment solutions using sound waves

Monday 31 October 2016 09:32 CET | News

YES Bank has teamed up with ToneTag, a company that uses sound waves to allow data transfer, to enable users make payments even when they are offline.

ToneTag is a mobile payments solution company Bengaluru-based that uses a patented Software Development Kit (SDK) that needs only a speaker and a microphone to transfer data. “It can utilise the in-built mic or speaker of any device to enable data transfer through soundwaves and hence it supports most existing devices such as PCS, POS, EDC devices and mobile phones including feature phones and wearables.” The SDK has also features like noise filters, three-level encryption, tokenisation, cryptography, and multi-factor authentication, to ensure security.

The partnership focuses on allowing “sound-based contactless payments on the YES Pay mobile wallet”, a bank’s representative said. The technology will enable wallet users to make cardless payments at merchants through their mobile phone without the usage of data.
