SECORA Pay security solution lights up payment cards with LEDs

The SECORA Pay security solution from Infineon Technologies AG supports card inlays with LEDs. The Visa- and Mastercard-certified product family now enables banks to design new and distinctive payment cards. Embedded LEDs provide visual feedback when the card is held up to the point-of-service (POS) terminal for a payment transaction.

The SECORA Pay product portfolio uses a security controller with certified software integrated into Coil-on-Module (CoM) chip modules. It features standardized inlays for easy and fast card production. The portfolio offers fast contactless transaction speeds and high performance. In addition, it now enables card manufacturers to flexibly position white LEDs in a defined area. These can be customized with different colors using printing foil further enhancing brand recognition.

The LED illumination is powered by the POS terminal’s NFC field, eliminating the need for battery power. In addition, the product family can be integrated into a card manufacturers’ production process with minimal changes improving scalability. Quick and easy integration into EMVCo compliant dual interface cards is possible, including a simple and fast certification process for faster time-to-market.
