Biometric Card Platform Zwipe Pay Obtains CCS Certificate from Mastercard

Zwipe AS, a leading provider of biometric payment card solutions, announced that it has obtained the Component Conformity Statement ("CCS") certificate from Mastercard for the Zwipe Pay platform.

This certification confirms that the Zwipe Pay biometric payment card platform meets all the security, reliability, functionality, and performance standards required by Mastercard. The CCS certificate enables Zwipe's customers, the Smart Card Manufacturers ("SCMs"), to leverage Zwipe's certification results to obtain a Letter of Approval ("LoA") from Mastercard for their own biometric payment cards built on the Zwipe Pay platform.

Issuers can now work with their SCMs to develop and launch biometric payment cards based on Zwipe Pay, and leverage Mastercard's global network to deliver Mastercard biometric payment cards throughout the world. 

"Having the Zwipe Pay platform certified by Mastercard is a significant milestone and major step forward for Zwipe and our customers. This development will further accelerate issuer pilots and planned launches based on Mastercard's network. The pathway is now open for Smart Card Manufacturers and issuers all over the world to certify, produce and deploy Mastercard biometric cards based on Zwipe Pay," said Robert Puskaric, CEO of Zwipe.
