The ‚Display Card‘ represents the next generation of payment card, providing the first interactive card in the market. It can work like any other payment card but has a small display window and touch-sensitive button. The cardholder can see information – numbers and/or text – on the small visual display, such as a dynamic passcode, an account balance and a spending limit. MasterCard selected Swiss-based security specialist NagraID Security as the technology partner for the programme. „“The card truly encapsulates our belief that simple to use technology is the key to unlocking the door to simpler cash-free payments““, says Jorn Lambert, Group Head, Core Products, MasterCard Europe. „“Consumers are telling us that ease of use, control and security are required to replace costly cash. This card can deliver the levels of both information and security they seek.““ Bulent Ersoz, Card Payment System Director for TEB said, „“We are proud to be the first bank to bring this new card to consumers here in Europe. This pilot kicks off with an initial offering to test authentication functionality but we are already looking towards further phases when we will test the additional functionality of the card in other card programmes. As we strengthen our eCommerce capabilities, we already have an eye to the future, where the card is the portal to so much more for our customers.““ www.mastercard.com
