Giesecke & Devrient win an award for its Convego Air Mobile contactless mobile payment sticker solution. The sticker or "tag" that it sometimes called enables users to make contactless payments by swiping the ticker across an NFC contactless reader, typically located at merchant point of sale terminals.
Convego Air Mobile, the sticker for contactless payment developed by Giesecke & Devrient, took home this year’s CIT Golden Card awards in the category of “most innovative payment card,” according to a news release from G&D.
Organized since 2002 by the Institute for International Research, the Golden Card awards recognize excellence in the smart-card industry. The awards are given in conjunction with the CIT Congress, Spain’s leading smart-card event, held annually in Madrid, Spain.
