Gemalto to secure Rogers NFC-enabled devices
Rogers Communications and Gemalto have announced that mobile payment services currently in pilot testing and coming to the market this year on Rogers NFC-enabled devices will be secured by digital security technology from Gemalto. Rogers will deploy the Upteq NFC, Gemalto's EMV-ready, high-end SIM-UICC, to store and secure consumers' credentials and card data required to make payments with NFC-enabled mobile devices and will leverage the card's onboarding flexibility for the future addition of tap-and-go services including coupon redemption, loyalty programmes, transit and other digital identification.
