First Data Corp. announced that it will provide card issuing and payment processing services for Getin Noble Bank’s new contactless card program.
First Data will help the bank roll out MasterCard PayPass debit cards that will allow Getin’s customers to make tap and go payments of 50 zloty (about $17.50) at thousands of retailers across Poland.
Paweł Wawiernia, director of the Card department at Getin, comments: “We want to ensure that the latest payment card standards are quickly incorporated into our customer offering. The projects that First Data has implemented previously on our behalf have fulfilled our special requirements and for this reason we have decided to continue to work together in the future.”
