Cornèr Bank and Visa Europe say the first Visa payWave card in Switzerland will be available to customers from Q1 2008.
“We purposely chose this secure product as we wanted to offer the latest in innovative card technology to our customers,” says Alessandro Seralvo, director, Cornèrcard. “As well as being able to pay for transactions under 40CHF ($36) throughout Switzerland without cash, cardholders will have the freedom to use their fastest payment card at checkouts worldwide. We believe that contactless is one of the most attractive technologies for the future and we want to make it available from the beginning to our cardholders who generally like to be ahead of the innovations.”
