SECORA Pay is an all-in-one solution for the production of smart wearable devices

     Infineon Technologies launches the SECORA Pay brand, combining today's most advanced touch dual-interface EMV security controllers with the latest EMV applications. SECORA Pay is available in multiple versions to easily meet the needs of different regional markets. As a result, it facilitates the production of EMV-compliant payment cards and accelerates the launch of emerging applications such as smart wearables.

     Smart card-based payment systems are facing a range of new opportunities, such as contactless migration and multi-application, as well as increased demand for local standard payment solutions. With SECORAPay, Infineon will help stakeholders in the payments ecosystem adapt to these market dynamics while meeting their changing needs for security and convenience. Local and regional payment card manufacturers have access to certified hardware-based EMV solutions from the same vendor. At the same time, by leveraging solutions based on open standards that support EMVCo card customization specifications, card customization organizations can also benefit from smooth industrialization.

     BjoemScharfen, head of Infineon's Payments and Wearables business, said: "As the world's leading provider of security controllers for payment applications, we help the value chain take advantage of the latest products and benefit from their speed and flexibility, regardless of product form factors. SECORAPay enables customers to migrate to EMV standards in a safe, reliable, efficient and smooth manner.

     SECORAPayS is an off-the-shelf solution for standard payment cards that comply with global payment norms, while SECORAPayX provides a flexible platform that supports multiple applications as well as local standard payment schemes. In addition, SECORAPayX supports CIPURSEM open standards to enable sustainable interoperable business models for areas such as transport ticketing.

     SECORAPay also excels in terms of technical features: Infineon security controllers bring outstanding contactless transaction speeds and superior performance to today's single and multi-application projects. In addition, innovative coil module (CoM) chip packages increase the productivity and overall robustness of dual-interface cards. At the same time, the very small antenna design supports the design of new wearable contactless payment devices, such as smart watches equipped with payment functions.
