Gemalto today announced it will provide its Trusted Services Management service to support the launch of NFC applications in Thailand.
Gemalto is partnering with KASIKORNBANK, the country’s second largest bank, and with Advanced Info Services, the nation’s largest telecommunications operator, to provide NFC services to Thai consumers such as touch-and-go mobile payment.
Gemalto is entrusted with the management and preparation of user information from KASIKORNBANK to operate secure over-the-air personalization services that enable mobile subscribers to gain access to NFC payments and AIS services.
Starting in July 2010, selected customers can collect their phones from KASIKORNBANK to use NFC applications at some 40 locations, including restaurants, theaters and supermarkets.
