RIM's Secure Element Manager Solution to Power NFC Mobile Payments in Canada

Published on:

­Research In Motion has been selected by Canada based EnStream -- a joint venture of Bell Mobility, Rogers Wireless and TELUS -- to provide its Secure Element Manager (SEM) solution to manage credentials on wireless handsets in Canada that support NFC services.

Through the infrastructure that RIM's SEM solution provides, financial institutions in Canada will have a single gateway allowing them to support any customer with an NFC-enabled smartphone that wants to enable a "mobile wallet" application. RIM's SEM solution provides the infrastructure that will securely manage information credentials for NFC payments, which can be used by any financial institution, carrier, or smartphone.

"We selected RIM for their long-standing relationships with mobile operators and financial institutions, and their track record of operating a secure network for connected services," said Almis Ledas, Chief Operating Officer of EnStream. "By adopting the secure GSMA Global Platform standard and using SEM infrastructure hosted and operated by RIM, consumers and financial institutions can have full confidence in financial credentials enabled through EnStream."
