Kazakhstan ATF Bank has selected Gemalto, a Netherlands-based digital security company, to supply new contactless EMV cards.

Gemalto said that it will deliver ATF Bank a new card based on the design of its Optelio range of banking cards with a transparent body.

"This new range will provide ATF Bank with a highly differentiated customer offer in the fast-growing market for contactless payments in Kazakhstan," Gemalto said.

Gemalto secure transactions senior vice president, Jean-Paul Ternisien, said: "By familiarizing end users with the idea of paying for goods and services with nothing more than a tap, contactless cards represent an important step towards the deployment of a rich array of value added contactless services from not just cards but soon mobile phones."

ATF board member managing director Sanat Abenov, said: "ATF is committed to innovative and distinctive product offers, and Gemalto was the only supplier able to meet our exacting design requirements for a transparent, contactless EMV card certified by the international payment associations."

Gemalto delivers its Optelio banking cards through its partner IBS Project.
