"To implement mobile payments, we developed a technology from scratch, and the long-standing partnership with Idemia Secure Transactions, both in Brazil and in Europe, was fundamental to this. We have a passion for customers as one of our values and priorities and we want to enable an increasingly fluid journey for all our audiences," commented Romain Dayan, Head of Technology for the Americas region at Ticket.

IST supports Edenred Brasil in digitising Ticket cards in third-party mobile wallets, through its proprietary platform “Idemia Token Platform”. The tokenisation technology used replaces valuable data with equivalent elements (tokens), which have no value outside the system. The solution includes the use of the contactless White label Discover technology (D-PAS – C6), selected to enable NFC Ticket tokens in the POS terminal.

"As a long-standing global partner of Edenred Ticket, Idemia Secure Transactions draws on decades of leadership in tokenisation and advanced payment technologies to expand the presence of Edenred Ticket, which already operates fully digitally, in consumers’ leading digital wallets. This launch represents a pivotal milestone in the evolution of digital wallets, delivering greater convenience and security to consumers, while paving the way for further deployments for its client. We are proud to enable millions of seamless and secure transactions every day, reaffirming our commitment to technological excellence and strong client parnership," added Marcelo Annarumma, SVP Payment Services LATAM at Idemia Secure Transactions.

Throughout the development of the Google and Apple Pay integration projects, Idemia Secure Transactions’ global team, together with a fully dedicated team in Brazil, with professionals across engineering, solutions architecture, project managers, customer success, systems integration and support, worked alongside professionals from Ticket and acquiring companies.

By enabling the digitisation of their cards in Apple Pay, following last years successful integration in Google Pay, IST continues to support Edenred in delivering secure and seamless contactless payment experiences. At the same time, IST will also support other Edenred entities in different countries in the digitalisation and implementation of similar projects.
