Morpho enables this project with an end-to-end solution: it is responsible for the NFC-enabled Micro SD card, the user interface and the integration with Bank SinoPac’s overall services concept. This launch enriches the Taiwanese NFC ecosystem by enabling Bank SinoPac to provide end-to-end consumer services solely with Morpho’s NFC solution. The solution currently runs on Samsung Galaxy S3 and Samsung Galaxy S4.
Jamie Cheng, Senior Vice President at SinoPac Bank, said: “According to the international research firm Gartner, mobile payment will have 35% annual growth till 2017. Feedback shows that more than 62% of Bank SinoPac credit card cardholders are willing to have mobile payment services. More than 93% of the respondents also hope to consolidate credit cards and mobile payment loyalty programs into one single program. In this launch, the maximum value of the stored value in the phone is up to NTD 10,000. If the phone is lost, the consumer can get a refund for the balance of the store valued as soon as the consumer makes a report to the bank. This launch marks the beginning of a series of market-leading mobile payment solutions that Bank SinoPac will be launching. Bank SinoPac will continue to provide innovative mobile payment products and solutions to consumers to enable a mobile payment lifestyle.”
“This project was completed in less than three months from approval to delivery, reasonable. It clearly demonstrates that with a good plan and a collaborative working relationship, any bank can launch NFC services without ‚tear‘,” added Thian Yee Chua, Senior Vice President Convergence Services at Morpho, e-Documents Division. “Thanks to our experience and proven processes, Morpho can enable more and more card issuers to offer NFC services in a short time-to-market.”
