Inside Contactless this week introduced its MicroPass 6000 dual-interface, EMV-compliant chip product. The company designed the new platform to meet the high-volume requirements of such EMV markets as Europe, Latin America, Asia Pacific and Canada and to target U.S. issuers considering issuing dual contact and contactless cards to cardholders traveling internationally. The chip platform includes applications for credit, debit and transit. The product will be available in November, the company says. Meanwhile, Inside Contactless has signed an agreement with U.S.-based Discover Financial Services to develop future Discover Zip contactless payment devices.
