Creating a multifunctional banking product and services to attract customers
The bank set a goal to create a secure and convenient form-factor of contactless payment and transport ticketing. As a result, ISBC implemented a unique project to combine two systems, financial and transport, in one accessory with an NXP microchip
At the first stage of the project, ISBC manufactured key fobs and encoded on them a transport app according to the MUE TMS technical specification to implement the functions of a transport card. After that, the key fobs were handed over to the bank.
Financial institutions have equipment for issuing standard bank cards. However, it does not allow manufacturing bank cards in the form of the key fobs. Therefore, at the second stage, ISBC created and handed over to Chelyabinskbank special software for personalizing each form-factor as a bank card.
