Gemalto, BNP Broaden Chip Card Pact

Gemalto NV said Tuesday that it would provide chip cards to BNP Paribas SA in France and Belgium, expanding an existing relationship.

Gemalto, of Amsterdam, would supply cards with the EMV Integrated Circuit Card Specifications in those regions as part of a two-year contract with the Paris banking company. Gemalto already provides EMV cards to BNP in France.

Gemalto's cards would adhere to the EMV Dynamic Data Authentication standard to protect against counterfeiting.
