Kofax, a US-based software provider, has signed an OEM agreement with Blackhawk Network, a provider of prepaid and payments products to enhance digital wallet.

Under the agreement, Kofax Mobile Capture SDK will be integrated within Blackhawk’s digital services platform.

Kofax said the feature will make it easier for consumers to spend, share and keep gift cards secure and take the friction out of onboarding new cards and checking card balances.

The integration of Kofax Mobile Capture SDK and Blackhawk’s digital services app will allow GoWallet users to hover their iOS or Android mobile device over any gift card to instantly retrieve and validate balance information.

Kofax senior vice president of mobile capture applications Drew Hyatt said: "Kofax Mobile Capture adds valuable user functionality to GoWallet and to Blackhawk Network’s digital platform, and benefits Kofax by adding Blackhawk to our growing list of mobile industry leaders."

Blackhawk Network general manager digital & emerging services Tomas Campos said: "Kofax’s capture solution enables our customers to easily place their cards into GoWallet or another mobile wallet using the Blackhawk digital services platform. Working with companies like Kofax provides our innovative solutions even more practical implementations in the digital wallet space."
