First Data has teamed up with NFC technology and contactless
solutions provider, Inside Contactless, to launch a MasterCard

The contactless payment sticker is based on
Inside’s MicroPass payment platform and contains the
functionalities of a credit or debit card.
According to First Data, as the tags are pre
cut within and break away from a standard credit card form factor,
they can be personalised and fulfilled using existing card
manufacturing equipment in scalable volume.
