Converged Applications

Payment cards and contactless payment have been huge steps forward in consumer convenience. Today, consumers continue to seek even more ways of saving time, simplifying transactions, and tracking their purchases. Most consumers have multiple cards – each with a specific, limited purpose – that they carry in their wallets. And even something as simple as going to the airport to board a flight can generate 5-10 transactions.

Card issuers must continually find new ways to improve the cardholder's experience in support of marketing initiatives, retaining a competitive advantage, and enabling self-service options. INSIDE contactless payment solutions give card issuers the ability to combine multiple applications on a single card, improving consumer convenience, enhancing loyalty, and creating new opportunities for differentiating their offerings.

The INSIDE MicroPass platform supports multiple payment applications, as well as loyalty, transit, ID, and access applications to provide a true converged payment platform.
