Starting “Pay-Buy-Mobile”

Shoppers in Taiwan are experiencing a milestone in mobile contactless history by using our technology to make contactless payments with their mobile phones.
Subscribers to FarEasTone are the first in Asia to experience this SIM-based proximity communication (NFC) service which offers the same ease and convenience as an ordinary contactless payment card while at the same time opening up fun new ways to shop.
For example, users can interact with “smart posters” embedded with NFC tags by waving their mobile across the poster and walking away with a coupon downloaded to the SIM for use at the checkout or for later purchases.

Enabling mobile signatures
 

The 30 million subscribers of Turkey’s leading mobile operator can now benefit from the world’s largest mobile signature program.

Our SIM-based identification solution allows them to securely access services that require strong authentication, such as internet banking or e-government applications, while using their mobile phones to generate a legally binding electronic signature.
This means they can perform secure online transactions through their handset, anytime, anywhere. What makes this solution secure is that it relies on “something you own” (the private key of your digital signature stored in the SIM card) and “something you know” (the secret code).
