G+D Mobile Security enables the German Savings Banks Finance Group to provide mobile payment for their member banks

The pilot program will enable selected banks’ personnel to make mobile payments with Mastercard credit products. The program started on 11th September 2017 and is planned to run for two months. G+D Mobile Security connects the Savings Banks with the Mastercard tokenization services MDES (Mastercard Digital Enablement Service) and enables the related token aggregation service.

“G+D Mobile Security is proud to support the Savings Banks Finance Group in their ground-breaking roll-out of mobile payment”, commented Dr. Carsten Wengel, Head of the EMEA Region at G+D Mobile Security. “The pilot program is unique in such way that G+D Mobile Security enables S-Payment to provide this service to the Savings Banks  selected for the pilot with minimum efforts per bank.”

Pilot users will have a wallet app in their smart phone. After registration and authentication, the selected Mastercard credit card will be tokenized using G+D Mobile Security’s Convego^® CloudPay service connected with MDES.  Convego^® CloudPay manages the Over-the-Air provisioning of the virtual card (token) to the consumer wallet and can support any subsequent life-cycle management requirements. Immediately after this short process, users can make mobile payments at any contactless POS terminal supporting Mastercard.
