deployments, enabling EMV secure proximity transactions that are compatible with existing contactless POS acceptance systems without the need for traditional integration and system upgrade costs.
The trial will be the most advanced of its kind. Combining software on the mobile device with highly secure cloud processing, this unique technology eliminates the need to deliver and manage NFC credentials on the device. The comprehensive HCE solution provides full lifecycle support for cardholder credentials and transactions. It will use devices with Android OS KitKat 4.4 and support NFC-based High Value Transactions (HVT) with mobile PIN.
“The most notable feature of this pilot is how easy it is for users to add their credit cards to their phone without having to manipulate any physical secure element or rely on 3rd party service providers,” says Albert Figueras, Director of Credit Cards and Consumer Finance at Banco Sabadell.
