From a vision to one of Africa’s most advanced cash centers. Our collaboration with the Banco Nacional de Angola has successfully brought a new flagship project to life. The state-of-the-art Casa Do Kwanza #cashcenter in Luanda is one of a kind on the continent. 🌍 As Angola's population has grown steadily over the past 75 years, so has the need for #cash storage and distribution. Now, the center handles approximately 4 million banknotes per day. 🔄 From planning to implementation, and from cutting-edge technology, high-level security and automation to seamless integration, every step demonstrates our commitment to excellence and innovation. It's a milestone in currency infrastructure for both today and tomorrow. But it's not just this achievement, but the joy on the faces of the people involved that makes us proud.✨ Watch the full video here: https://lnkd.in/drk5wq2H #CurrencyTechnology #Security

What if “digital first” means that millions of people are left out? 🚫 When your nearest bank branch closes and you have to rely on digital tools or phone calls for all your services, it creates daily challenges – especially for people with disabilities or elderly individuals who may struggle with complex digital interfaces or have limited access to technology. Inaccessible systems create barriers for millions of people around the world. At G+D, we believe no one should be left behind. That’s why we’re committed to making digital payment systems more inclusive – from accessible platforms to solutions that work even in the most remote regions. For example, simple measures like payment cards with special features, such as large fonts and identification bumps, can make a big difference. 💳 Biometric security features, such as facial recognition, can further simplify banking by eliminating the need for passwords or PINs. 🧑💻 Digital innovations like AI-powered sign language technologies, QR-enabled audio content, and secure ID processes with facial biometrics are opening doors to more inclusive financial services. 🌐✨ In a recent article, Gabrielle Bugat, CEO of ePayments, shares her thoughts on the topic.

We're entering a new era of online shopping – chances are, you didn’t even notice. 👀 And that’s exactly the point: The best security innovations work silently in the background, keeping payments safe without disrupting the experience. As e-commerce grows more complex, with fraud risks rising and demands for data protection increasing, the need for smarter, simpler security solutions is greater than ever. Our vision? Evolve security while reducing complexity. By combining our most trusted solutions, we create a payment experience that’s both seamless and secure: 🛡️ Network Tokenization: protects transactions without exposing real card data – reducing the risk of data breaches and unauthorized access to cardholder information. 🖱️ Click to Pay: simplifies online purchases with a single tap – making checkout effortless, regardless of the payment card, channel, or device. 🔑 Payment Passkeys: replace passwords and one-time codes with frictionless, biometric authentication. Tokenization is just the start of transforming online checkout. With Click to Pay, we’re elevating purchases to a seamless, one-click experience. Looking ahead, we’ll eliminate password friction with passkeys, creating a passwordless authentication system that mirrors the speed and simplicity of contactless payments in stores – bringing that ease online. Together with our digital powerhouse G+D Netcetera we are committed to redefining the online shopping experience. 🔗 Learn more here: https://lnkd.in/da2n94Qv #Ecommerce #DigitalPayments #OnlineSecurity #Tokenization #Innovation #Passkeys

$25 trillion. A figure hard to imagine, right? This is the expected amount of transactions by 2027 in mobile wallets. 💡 Mobile wallets are no longer just about convenience—they are becoming the primary payment method for consumers worldwide. To provide a mobile-first payments and banking experiences, #banks now have a game-changing opportunity. With Apple opening #NFC access, banks can finally launch their own branded tap-and-go payment functionality across iOS and Android. This isn’t just a technical shift – it’s a chance to stay competitive, expand customer reach, and strengthen brand loyalty. This shift is set to reshape the mobile wallet landscape, enabling banks to remain at the heart of consumers’ digital lives.

We’re taking another huge step towards seamless #connectivity – with devices that are born connected. 💯 Imagine having to install and activate each #SIM card manually for the devices you ship and sell. 🤯 This is neither practical nor cost-effective, especially above a certain number of devices. Now imagine that your devices leave the factory ready to connect and function as soon as they are turned on. This is possible – thanks to In-Factory Profile Provisioning (IFPP)! How it works: ➡️ For consumer devices, SIM profiles are preconfigured during the manufacturing process, so that the devices are ready to be distributed to the customers right away. ➡️ For #IoT devices, manufacturers can provision any number of IoT devices before they are deployed, enabling out-of-the-box connectivity. This way, battery-powered devices, such as smart meters, sensors or GPS trackers, can operate immediately. ➡️ For the automotive industry, manufacturers previously needed different stock-keeping units per country for connectivity. With IFPP, one version can be loaded with different eSIM profiles during manufacturing, reducing costs and ensuring global-ready vehicle connectivity for seamless telematics. The result is a win-win-win situation for network operators, IoT device manufacturers, and customers, saving valuable time and costs.

The journey to a more sustainable future doesn’t end with a #paymentcard. But it might as well start there. 🌳 With Convego Wood, our wooden payment cards, the connection to nature can be felt with every payment transaction - thanks to their wooden card bodies. But sustainability goes beyond materials, both consumers and banks have the power to make a difference. While consumers make conscious choices in their daily spending, banks may drive climate-positive initiatives that turn every transaction into an opportunity for impact. Our collaboration with Patch enables banks to help consumers make a real difference. Customers can accumulate and invest credits from everyday spending into sustainability initiatives, with more than 275 global climate projects to choose from, including reforestation, forest protection, and regenerative agriculture. 📖 Learn more about the program: https://lnkd.in/dFFfPWCc #SustainableBanking #GreenPayments #ClimateAction #ESG
