WATERLOO, 18 September 2014 – MasterCard Belgium is introducing its contactless mobile payment solution in Belgium. The new payment technology transforms a consumer’s smartphone into a payment card, and is currently being implemented by local MasterCard personnel. This solution has been developed in collaboration with several partners such as Mobistar, who will be implementing the payment solution among its employees later this year, Oberthur Technologies, PrePay Solutions and Penrillian. The key advantage of contactless is that it is quick and easy for both consumer and merchant, and gives incentive to both to use their payment device over cash. The NFC-enabled-phone allows consumers to make everyday purchases by simply tapping at a contactless terminal at the merchant location. Knowing the card or device doesn’t leave the consumer’s hand, it gives him a great feeling of security and control. The final transaction amount will be deducted directly from the customer’s account, similar to a standard card payment. With the introduction of this new payment technology, MasterCard took advantage of the popularity and versatility of payments via smartphone and used it as a basis and means to provide consumers and merchants with a suitable solution for low value daily payments.

Brussels, 3 September 2014 - Mobistar’s buildings, network and stores will henceforth all be carbon neutral. Having made a 75% reduction in its CO2 emissions since 2006, Mobistar is now offsetting its operational activities’ irreducible emissions. This means in practical terms that whichever Mobistar services its customers access, they can rest assured they are climate neutral. Mobistar customers therefore benefit from a greenhouse-gas-neutral mobile phone service (voice, sms, data, …). This is made possible thanks to carbon offset schemes, for which Mobistar is supported by CO2Logic.
