Denizbank – the Turkish subsidiaryof Franco-Belgian bank Dexia – is offering its customers an NFC payment product in collaboration with mobile network Turkcell.
The new contactless feature is powered by Turkcell’s Cep-T Cüzdan platform, and uses MasterCard PayPass technology.
According to mobileeurope.co.uk, the Denizbank-Turkcell alternative payment service does not require a password and the bank claims it to be easy, fast, and secure as customers activate the service via SMS.
“People wishing to use Turkey’s first offline, no-name prepaid card can simply SMS to apply with their mobile phones and immediately start shopping with their prepaid cards,” Cenk Bayrakdar, the bank’s Chief New Technology Business Officer, told the website.
