Turkcell Teknoloji Receives Best Contactless Mobile Transaction (NFC) Award for Cep-T Cüzdan
ISTANBUL, November 1, 2011/PRNewswire-FirstCall/ --
Turkcell (NYSE: TKC, ISE: TCELL), the leading communications and
technology company's 100% subsidiary; R&D and innovation base Turkcell
Teknoloji has won the SIMagine award in the Best Contactless Mobile
Transaction (NFC) Awards category.
Turkcell Cep-T Cuezdan, a mobile wallet application that enables the
secure installation of more than one credit card application on a single SIM
card, was a world first developed by Turkcell Teknoloji. The Cep-T Cuezdan
service, which relies on NFC (Near Field Communication), eliminates the need
for conventional plastic credit cards. Instead, the NFC supported terminals
in themselves become credit cards with the introduction of this application.
Through Cep-T Cuezdan, customers can load their MasterCard branded credit
cards to their mobile phones and make contact-free transactions for onetime
payment of up to TRY35 with no pin or signature. Having been approved by
MasterCard, Cep-T Cuezdan currently offers huge convenience to Yapi Kredi
and Garanti Bank users. Further Turkish banks and other service providers
are expected to become available to mobile wallet service subscribers,
thereby enabling them to experience real wallet concept with the convenience
of their mobile equivalent.
Turkcell Teknoloji's General Manager, Semih Incedayi commented that,
"Through our competency, which is backed by Turkcell's pioneering vision in
technology and communications, Turkey is now considered one of the leading
countries in this arena. Over the past 2 years, we have accumulated solid
know-how and experience in the field of contactless technologies, having now
achieved another global first. The fact that Cep-T Cuezdan won the SIMagine
award in the Best Contactless Mobile Transaction (NFC) Awards category
confirms the level of technical competency Turkish engineers have now
reached, which is very meaningful."
