The wallet will be powered by Nets’ host card emulation (HCE) and tokenisation platform, and can be accessed by customers of all participating banks.
Nets’ HCE and tokenisation platform enhances security of mobile payment transactions by replacing payment credentials stored in the mobile device at the point of transmission with a unique randomly generated identifier.
Moreover, the platform is based on internationally security standards that will allow the banks to deploy HCE and tokenisation into their own mobile payment solutions and reduce time-to-market.
Danish Regional Bankers Association managing director Soren Nicolaisen said: "We are excited to be the first in Denmark to announce our plans to deliver bank-issued mobile wallets from our members, providing a mobile payment solution that delivers real payment convenience to our customers. End users will be able to pay just by ‘tapping’ their phone at the contactless point-of-sale."
