FAMOCO portrait

Today there are 10 billion contactless cards in circulation and in 2020 mobile transactions will total $8 trillion in revenue. 60% of the transactions will not be on the Mastercard/Visa payment scheme as we know it; they will be application based digital transactions.

Application based digital transactions are used today for mobile workforce management, mobile payment and urban mobility needs. In order to create an acceptance network for these transactions, secure devices are needed to process them. Current solutions on the market are either proprietary devices that are very secure and expensive, but not flexible, or the opposite; very flexible but highly unsecure – such as smartphones.

That’s were FAMOCO comes in: The FAMOCO devices are the only ones available on the market that integrate smart card security coupled with a secure Android version. This ensures data integrity and protects against viruses and attacks which are increasingly common on Android. The devices are managed remotely through a SaaS platform for easy deployment and simplified operational management.
