RCB Digital Wallet Powered by EdgeVerve Systems

NFC-based digital wallet offers greater security and improved customer service

London, UK – October 29, 2018: EdgeVerve Systems, a product subsidiary of Infosys (NYSE: INFY) and RCB Bank, today announced the bank’s successful implementation of the ProximityPayEdge Digital Payments offering, to provide RCB’s customers with a digital wallet for secure contactless payments.

RCB Bank is the first bank in Cyprus to offer a contactless digital wallet using tokenization powered by the ProximityPayEdge technology. Named the RCB Digital Wallet and built on the highly secure Visa tokenization framework, this offering allows customers to securely pay in-store using a tap of their Android smartphone.

Through this implementation, RCB Bank will benefit from improved customer loyalty, engagement and transaction volumes through their own digital wallet. In addition, it will be able to improve its understanding of customer behavior and customise offerings and services accordingly

ProximityPayEdge supports multiple card schemes and can be used for any channel that accepts NFC-based payments. The platform/solution (please confirm), was chosen due to its ease and flexibility of deployment, and its end-to-end security features.

Benefits enabled for customers:

• Payments through the contactless wallet are more secure than plastic card transactions, as the card details are not stored on the mobile phone and are not transmitted during the payment process.
• Customers can add existing Visa cards, without the need for the bank to issue new contactless cards.
