Gemalto has been selected by Isis to secure its mobile
commerce platform through Gemalto’s Allynis Trusted Service Manager (TSM)
solution.
Isis, a mobile commerce joint venture between AT&T
Mobility, T-Mobile USA and Verizon Wireless, will provide consumers and
merchants with an open and secure mobile commerce platform that will
revolutionize how consumers shop, pay and save.
“We selected Gemalto for their relationships with
financial institutions and mobile operators, which includes experience in
securely provisioning services over the air and issuing sensitive financial
information to the consumer,” said Ryan Hughes, chief marketing officer of
Isis.
Isis will enable consumers to enjoy the speed, security
and convenience of mobile contactless payment using NFC technology at retail
outlets such as restaurants, movie theaters and drug stores. Consumers will be
able to securely pay, present loyalty cards, and redeem coupons all with a tap
of their phones.
“Gemalto is thrilled to support Isis in delivering
the speed, security and convenience of mobile contactless payment,” said
Sebastien Cano, senior vice president, Gemalto
North America.
“Using our extensive experience with worldwide
commercial deployments Gemalto has designed a solution for Isis to support
mobile payment and a host of NFC services like digital couponing and loyalty
programs, access control and mass transit,” Cando added.
Gemalto is the world leader for electronic passports and
identity cards, two-factor authentication devices for online protection, smart
