Gemalto is providing end-to-end personalization and distribution services for the new contactless e-purse-compliant concession cards being issued by the Singapore Land Transport Authority.
The e-purse application is an interoperable micro-payment platform for Singapore made possible by a joint collaboration of the Infocomm Development Authority of Singapore and the Land Transport Authority. It enables multiple card issuers to produce a new generation of cards that can be used for travel in public buses and metro, electronic road pricing, electronic parking system car parks and other electronic payment systems.
As part of Gemalto’s services to the transport authority, roving centers have been established at schools to issue the new cards to students on-site.
