BRD, Société Générale’s subsidiary in Romania, to provide new
payment technology for the bank’s card portfolio.

Oberthur will supply BRD with a
multi-application dual interface payment card, which has built-in

The MultiPass Transport card is one of the
products originated from this deal. Issued in collaboration with
RATB and Metrorex – the transport operators of Bucharest – the
transport card will allow commuters to simply wave their card in
front of validators on buses, tram and metro.  

 “Such multi-application payment cards
combining services used everyday, like usual payment and public
transport access, or linked to their preferences, hobbies or
lifestyle, enable us to strengthen our relationship with our
existing customers, while attracting new ones,” said Ciprian
Nicolae, projects director-cards department at BRD.

“We are now proposing to our customers
packaged offerings targeting precise markets such as transport,
universities, sport fans, corporate badges, or frequent flyer
cards,” said Eric Duforest, managing director Europe at Oberthur
Technologies.

Additionally, the two companies will
bring out a football card called Supporter Card. This will be in
co-operation with several Romanian League 1 football clubs and will
grant access to stadiums, where turnstiles are fitted
with contactless technology.
