Introducing Contactless Key Fobs

Beyond speed and convenience, contactless can bring far more value to payment transactions. Since neither swipe nor insertion is required, the technology allows infinite possibilities on the payment device format. The introduction of new types of devices, departing from the traditional card format, translates into a great opportunity for issuers to bring higher differentiation to their strategic portfolios.

• Contactless Payments in the palm of your hand
  
  No more fumbling at the bottom of a purse,  pocket or wallet: attached to a key ring, these small plastic objects are always in the consumer’s hand, ready to be used for even faster, more convenient contactless payment transactions. Highly visible and fashionable, they are great marketing tools for issuers who wish to strengthen their brand image.

• The Gemalto Key Fob product approach
  
  Gemalto’s extended know how and long-lasting  expertise in contactless innovation have been employed to develop a key fob offer based on a unique concept and technology. Gemalto’s singular, fully integrated key fob is securely sealed prior to sensitive production steps such as pre-personalization, personalization and shipment, thus ensuring an unquestioned security of the payment device.
   
• A Key Fob Core based on a unique technology
  
  The approximately 1-inch square Key Fob Core is based on Gemalto’s latest generation of fully certified contactless chip & OS components, therefore conforming with MasterCard PayPass Magstripe and Visa payWave latest specifications. Small enough to be compatible with infinite casing shapes and sizes, the Fob Core presents best-in-class RF performances thanks to a unique antenna technology developed specifically by Gemalto’s R&D labs.
  
  In an area where uniqueness and time to market are two critical business requirements, Gemalto's 'off-the-shelf' Fob Core, ready to be assembled into the issuer’s uniquely designed casing matches perfectly the issuer’s needs.
   
• An off-the-shelf, “generic” casing ideal for pilots
  
  Within its “generic” casing, Gemalto's fully certified* Key Fob offer minimizes time to market and limits the issuer’s initial investments: this is ideal for fast pilots launches and for small volumes issuance.
  To meet the issuer’s differentiation requirement even in a small volume context, Gemalto’s generic casing comes in a variety of plastic colors and includes a dedicated, highly visible area where the issuer’s logo may be printed.
   
• Ability to ramp-up quickly
  
  When moving to massive deployments with high volumes involved, Gemalto’s fully integrated product approach and secured production/logistic process has the ability to ramp-up quickly and support large programs.
