Wa! Mobile Wallet from BNP Paribas is Secured by Gemalto

Gemalto is supplying BNP Paribas, a leading European bank, with Mobile Protector, a secure solution to protect Wa!, a multi-brand, omni-channel mobile wallet that combines payments, shopping coupons and loyalty programs.
 
Gemalto’s Mobile Protector encompasses an SDK (Software Development Kit), and both a customer enrollment and an authentication server. The solution delivers comprehensive security for all mobile payments made using Wa!. The bank is currently piloting Wa! in France with Carrefour, the world’s second biggest retailer with 12,300 stores across 35 countries.
 
Wa! enables consumers to have the convenience of swift and secure payments using nothing more than their smartphone. Once the app has been downloaded, Gemalto’s solution facilitates a simple enrollment process that is activated by a PIN code sent via SMS. Customers validate payments with their PIN code or their fingerprint. In addition, coupons and loyalty rewards can be claimed and redeemed using the same wallet.
