G+D Convego® YOU: bringing biometrics to the payment card
The payments ecosystem is vast and diverse. Different devices, new form factors, innovations in card materials. But methods of authenticating identity have largely lacked that breadth of choice – until now. Introducing Convego® YOU: the card that knows you.
Across countries and cultures, customers enjoy innovation. It demonstrates their openness to new ideas, lets them stand out from the crowd, add a little excitement to the day.
