(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Oberthur Technologies (OT), a world leader in digital security solutions for the mobility space today announced its selection by QUI! Group in Italy to provide MasterCard smart payment cards to dematerialize luncheon vouchers.
QUI! Group decided to innovate by providing consumers with smart payment cards in order to dematerialize traditional paper vouchers and optimize invoicing and administration processes for merchants for faster reimbursement. OT has been selected to provide the payment cards and to personalize them. Thanks to these cards, consumers will no longer need to use paper luncheon vouchers; they will remotely load money into their specifically designed reloadable prepaid banking cards and use them to pay in the same way as they use their personal payment cards issued by banks.
“OT is delighted to have been selected, as the unique supplier, by QUI! Group in order to offer rechargeable multifunctional cards. OT’s objective is to enhance end-users’ daily life and thanks to our product, QUI consumers will pay in a much more convenient, easy and secure way” said Eric Duforest, Managing Director of the Payment Business Unit at OT.
