Munich-based Giesecke & Devrient (G&D) has announced that shipments of its Convego Air contactless payment cards to the U.S. have now surpassed the 50 million unit mark.
Since the introduction of its contactless payment cards in 2006, G&D has become the number one supplier of Visa and MasterCard branded contactless payment cards in the U.S., and the first card vendor to reach the 50 million milestone, according to the company.
G&D has also announced that it is expanding its contactless platform to include new form factors, including mobile payment stickers and contactless payment cards with enhanced metal effect features that overcome the technical challenges of the metalized surface on contactless technology, claims G&D.
