Rabobank tests NFC payments at Dutch convenience store

Thursday, September 15, 2011

Rabobank and Albert Heijn (AH) have announced the launch of an NFC payments pilot at the ‘AH to go’ convenience store in the Amsterdam WTC.

Dubbed ‘Mijn ID,’ the new service uses NFC stickers that are attached to the customer’s phone, which link to the user’s Rabobank Minitix wallet enabling contactless payments at the point of sale.

Payments through Mijn ID are processed and routed via Chess iX’s cloud-based Minitix POSserver. According to Chess, the server provides authentication, authorization and routing of transactions between ECR’s, NFC readers and the Rabobank Minitix wallet engine.

Chess is also providing its next generation PAy4You Go NFC reader, the PAy4You Go for the pilot. [end]
