Semble, a joint alliance between key banks and all three operators in New Zealand, has selected Gemalto’s Allynis Trusted Services Hub (TSH) to secure their mobile NFC services.

The new solution been designed to offer secure over-the-air provisioning of payment credentials to the NFC device of a user.

Launched as a common national platform, TSH will offer accessibility to quick, convenient and secure NFC services for all from any network in the country.

With this solution, consumers will be able to make payment via phones at over 16,000 contactless NFC terminals in retail outlets including departmental stores, restaurants, and movie theatres, as well as will have access to a host of other services such as transport, loyalty points, gift vouchers, coupons, and access through their phones in the future.

Michael Au, president South Asia and Japan at Gemalto, said, "Gemalto’s TSH solution provides a single connection to all service providers, eliminating the need for multiple individual TSHs. This will enable Semble to attract more service providers to come onboard, and distribute new mobile services in ways never seen before."

The new solution will be hosted and operated in Gemalto’s certified data centre certified by the major international payments schemes.
