Gemalto announced that its Trusted Service Management (TSM) data center in Singapore achieved Visa and MasterCard certification, enabling Gemalto customers to securely distribute Visa and MasterCard mobile payment services to their end users.

The Singapore center is Gemalto’s third global center alongside existing sites in the U.S. and France. The center is now operational to support the commercial roll out of NFC services in Singapore and already counts Japan’s KDDI and the IDA-supported consortium in Singapore as its first customers.
