on provisioning set-up costs.
MOTAPS claims to eliminate constraints that
have hampered previous NFC handset trials by enabling the secure
delivery of personalisation data directly to the customer device at
the point of issuance via a standardised interface that works
across NFC ecosystem participants.
“We are delighted to be the first processor to
integrate with the MasterCard MOTAPS service,” said Keith Hobbs,
managing director of Carta Financial.
“MasterCard MOTAPS brings a powerful service
to the new wave of NFC enabled mobile handsets. This finally
unlocks the potential of NFC handsets, facilitating a new way to
pay for millions of individuals. It will enable issuers to provide
customers with a straightforward mobile handset personalisation
solution, broadening issuance opportunities and taking advantage of
the rapidly growing market for contactless products.”
