MasterCard Worldwide today announced its first partnership with a trusted service manager, Cassis International, to support its “streamlined” system to personalize PayPass contactless applications in NFC phones from various issuers.
The provisioning system, which MasterCard calls MOTAPS, sets up a standardized way to gather up customer payment account data to be delivered directly over the air to secure elements in NFC phones.
That is designed to make it easier for consumers with MasterCard branded credit, debit or prepaid accounts to request to have PayPass applications personalized over the air to their phones, said MasterCard.
