G&D offers NFC SIM card for Italy's first mobile payment pilot project

The leading international technology group Giesecke & Devrient provided the NFC-enabled SIM card to the mobile virtual network operator Noverca in the first mobile payment pilot project initiated by the Italian company São Paulo. The 600 employees and customers of the United Sao Paulo Bank now use their mobile phones to make contactless payments in more than 3,000 POS terminals in the northern Italian cities of Milan and Turin, such as supermarkets and coffee shops. These POS terminals are provided by Setefi, the payment agency of the São Paulo United Group.

Since the NFC-available device supports wireless communication at close range, the user of the technology can complete the purchase by simply placing the mobile phone close to the reading device. As one of the pioneers in the field of NFC technology, G&D has helped more than 40 pilot projects to make progress and provide services and solutions for the security of NFC application configuration and management for mobile devices.
