Gemalto launches new Mobile Wallet application

Gemalto (Euronext NL0000400653 GTO), the world leader in digital security, is launching its LinqUs Mobile Wallet - the complete suite of secure software solutions that enables a range of NFC services, mobile banking, mobile payment and loyalty programmes, all integrated in a single wallet. Showcasing for the first time at Mobile World Congress 2013 (Hall 5 Stand 5G120), the new LinqUs Mobile Wallet extends Gemalto's software offers and is fully integrated with the broader portfolio of mobile financial services (MFS) solutions. It enables financial service providers and retailers to rapidly deploy a breadth of services that can be customised to their specific needs.

Gemalto's LinqUs Mobile Wallet solution includes a secure application framework, a dedicated mobile wallet server, and connectivity with Gemalto's secure platforms for TSM (trusted service management) and mobile payment.

Designed to optimise convenience for end-users, consumers can link to existing accounts and cards, or set up new services easily. They can confidently conduct all their banking activities straight from their smartphones, along with transportation, ticketing and access applications. The wallet also incorporates loyalty and couponing programmes for consumers and enables targeted mobile marketing campaigns.

Gemalto's back-end platforms are pre-integrated with the mobile wallet, creating the ideal environment for swift adoption by service providers. With over 70 deployments of mobile financial services solutions worldwide, LinqUs Mobile Wallet provides best-in-class security in mobile payment deployments. Furthermore, it is proactively tested on leading smartphone models and with a range of NFC secure elements to ensure 'out of the box' operability and to minimise testing costs.

"Interest in mobile financial services is accelerating due to the convenience and added user engagement they provide," said Jean-Claude Deturche, Gemalto Senior Vice-President, Mobile Financial Services. "By offering a rich suite of front-end mobile applications, through which end-users can access the services delivered by our powerful servers, the Mobile Wallet sets new standards in terms of choice, flexibility and freedom to tailor solutions to individual requirements."
