Gemalto Partners with Samsung for the launch of Samsung Pay in Europe with Security Solutions
September 2015 by Marc Jacob
Gemalto joins forces with Samsung to accelerate the deployment of Samsung Pay through Gemalto’s Allynis Trusted Service Hub (TSH).
Samsung Pay is a simple and secure mobile payment service that will provide wider acceptance with NFC and MST (Magnetic Secure Transmission) working in most of merchant locations. Gemalto and Samsung are actively working with payment issuers to roll out Samsung Pay to Europe.
Gemalto’s Allynis TSH is a one-stop connection that offers payment issuers an accelerated path to launch mobile payment services, integrating streamlined user enrollment, service installation and lifecycle management of payment credentials or tokenization services. Onboarding for payment issuers is significantly simplified, without the need for massive new IT investments and rapidly offering a frictionless user experience across the full range of handset security models. Samsung Pay on the new Galaxy handsets benefits from a dedicated embedded secure element for storing sensitive credentials, while the Allynis TSH ensures that payment issuers can benefit from the maximum flexibility for future roadmaps.
