Contactless ATM Card Launched

IRVINE, Calif. – Wincor Nixdorf and HID Global, a provider of secure identity systems, have introduced an ATM system with a contactless smart card reader, allowing a single piece of equipment to process ATM and automatic fare collection transactions.

The two companies are working with an unnamed international bank to design and develop the new, converged solution, which adds HID’s cashless payment reader technology to Wincor Nixdorf’s ProCash ATM platform.

HID’s readers will allow the Wincor Nixdorf ATM system to support the Calypso transit card protocol and DESFire contactless smart card technology, plus MIFARE contactless smart cards to meet future banking requirements.
