Millions of people today around the world are using smart cards for debit and credit payments. Increasing card usage and providing innovative services for cardholders is a constant objective for financial institutions. Catching a share of the cash market, the largest in terms of number of transactions, is one of their major goals.
Contactless payment applications are now a real new trend to address low-value payments where speed and convenience are key factors of the user’s experience: fast food chains, movie theaters, vending machines, stadiums, etc: These are spending domains where cash dominated historically.

Merchants also benefit from the improved operational efficiency provided by contactless technology: no more cash-handling, increased check-out speed and throughput. Card holders throughout the world have begun enjoying the convenience and security of their contactless payment transactions.
In the fast growing US market, Gemalto has supplied more than 15 million cards and is recognized for the high technology expertise and high level of support it brings to the major US Banks for their contactless magstripe programs.
