With over 10 million contactless credit and debit cards in circulation in the UK and commercial NFC services in place, Barclays share valuable insight into customer demand.

Confirmed Speaker: Barclaycard – Tom Gregory

10.00 – 10.40 Security in question – Contactless & NFC

We’ve heard arguments about how secure (or not?) Contactless and NFC payments are, but what are the ‘secure elements’ on offer now? We look at the groundwork carried out on winning confidence with cards and what differs when security is provided by the secure element (SE) on the phone. What is real and what is hype?

A summary of the many flavours and choices of SEs available today, the historic perspective that has led to marketplace offers now and trends for the future. Will 1 suit all? Or will choice remain for years to come?

Confirmed Speakers: Samsung – Joerg Suchy, Infineon Technologies – Juergen Spaenkuch

Following the worldwide interest in our Contactless & NFC City League www.contactlesscities.com we have been collecting data to show the great efforts made by individual cities to push forward contactless and NFC technology. This session provides an opportunity for some of the successful cities to share their learnings. Discussion topics will be on interoperability and national rollout strategies, as well as lessons learnt throughout Europe.
