NEW YORK – July 31, 2012 – Isis™, the mobile commerce joint venture created by AT&T Mobility, T-Mobile USA and Verizon Wireless, today announced that U.S. market leaders in retail fuel dispensers, Wayne, a GE Energy Business, and Gilbarco Veeder-Root, agreed to provide integrated support for the Isis SmartTap™ mobile commerce application, allowing consumers to quickly and efficiently pay, present loyalty cards and redeem offers with a single tap of their Isis Ready™ phones at the gas pump.

“The gas pump is one of the most frequented point-of-sale environments, and a critically important addition to the mobile commerce marketplace,” said Scott Mulloy, chief technology officer, Isis. “Isis is pleased to announce relationships with market leaders Wayne and Gilbarco Veeder-Root. It creates an important opportunity for convenience stores to enhance the customer experience, thereby increasing loyalty and in-store traffic.”

Gilbarco Veeder-Root and Wayne SmartTap-enabled dispensers will be installed at select retail locations to accompany Isis’ market launch in Austin, Texas and Salt Lake City, Utah.

Gilbarco Veeder-Root’s modular payment architecture will be equipped to accept SmartTap in new, factory-installed fuel dispensers and retrofitted fuel dispensers currently installed at convenience stores across the country. As a global leader in fueling dispenser payment terminals, Gilbarco will provide convenience store retailers another way to serve customer’s payment needs.

“Mobile commerce and payments are the future,” said Mike Schulte, president of Gilbarco Veeder-Root North America. “As a worldwide technology leader in retail and commercial fueling solutions, we believe our agreement with Isis will allow us to continue to deliver industry-leading innovations to our customers.”

Wayne will integrate the Isis SmartTap mobile commerce application into the contactless/NFC reader used with the Wayne iX Pay™ Secure Payment solution. Secure, flexible and future-proof, the Wayne iX Pay Secure Payment solution offers EMV and PCI-PTS 3.0 compliance, the highest standards of pay-at-the-pump financial data security in the industry.

“Integrating the Isis SmartTap mobile commerce application will open entirely new payment, loyalty and promotional opportunities for consumers and fuel retailers using Wayne dispensers and technologies,” said Paul de la Port, vice president of products, Wayne. “We believe the simplicity and convenience of mobile commerce will have enormous appeal for consumers and retailers alike.”

Gilbarco Veeder-Root and Wayne are the latest addition to Isis’ expanding list of partners – payment systems suppliers, handset manufacturers, banks, payment networks and merchants – committed to building the infrastructure and scale necessary for mass adoption of mobile commerce.

Leading Payment System Suppliers License Isis Mobile Commerce Application; Consumers to Pay, Present Loyalty Cards and Redeem Offers All With a Tap of Their Phone

NEW YORK – March 5, 2012 – Isis™, the joint venture created by AT&T Mobility, T-Mobile USA and Verizon Wireless, announced today that VeriFone, Ingenico, ViVOtech and Equinox Payments will integrate and support the Isis Mobile Commerce Application in current and future product lines. The agreements with leading payment systems providers will help accelerate the wide scale introduction and adoption of mobile commerce.

“Payment systems suppliers provide critical infrastructure for the development of mobile commerce,” said Scott Mulloy, chief technology officer, Isis. “Today’s announcement is an important step in enabling NFC technology adoption throughout the mobile commerce industry. It also validates the open platform approach being offered by Isis across multiple business sectors.”

“VeriFone retail customers are already embracing the convergence of online shopping and the physical point of sale with new mobile payment options, digital couponing, loyalty, location-based social media and value-added services,” said Jennifer Miles, VeriFone executive vice president, North America. “NFC-enabled payments allow merchants to engage their shoppers in new and powerful conversations, and Isis’ open platform and scale are helping make mobile commerce a reality.”

Payment device suppliers will enable Isis mobile commerce across several of their product lines, offering merchants flexibility in how they upgrade to Isis-enabled payment terminals. Merchants will become Isis-enabled through a combination of new payment acceptance systems and NFC add-on devices, as well as remote software upgrades of certain devices already in the field.

“As a global payment terminal manufacturer, we welcome Isis’ open approach of mobile commerce to engage with as many stakeholders of the payments ecosystem as possible.  It is the most effective way to bring consumers and merchants the best in engineering innovation, convenience and security of payments,” said Thierry Denis, president of Ingenico, North America. “For 30 years, merchants relied on our terminals as enablers of traditional and innovative payment methods. Today, together with Isis, we are ready to support the acceptance of NFC-enabled payments which are fully integrated in our new generation Telium series devices and, in turn, be the agents of mobile commerce.”

“We’re approaching a tipping point in the mass adoption of mobile commerce, as new smartphones arrive NFC-enabled,” said Mick Mullagh, chief executive officer, ViVOtech. “Bringing the industry together behind a common set of technology standards and platforms is a crucial step toward igniting the mobile economy and we look forward to bringing ViVOtech’s 10 year history of leadership in contactless NFC applications to bear on behalf of the Isis customer base.”

“The importance of mobile payments cannot be overstated and Equinox is pleased to join Isis at the forefront of the development of these very important technologies,” said Clint Jones, Equinox Payments president. “The Isis Mobile Commerce Application is an excellent complement to our next-generation NFC-enabled L5000 series of payment terminals. Collaborations such as this provide Equinox with even more opportunities to provide our customers with new ways to leverage the tremendous benefits that mobile commerce has to offer.”

Starting This Summer, the Isis Mobile Wallet Will Be Available to More Than 100 Million U.S. Card Holders

BARCELONA, Spain – February 27, 2012 – Isis™, the mobile commerce joint venture created by AT&T Mobility, T-Mobile USA and Verizon Wireless, today announced that Chase, Capital One and Barclaycard have entered into agreements with Isis enabling their credit, debit and prepaid cards to be placed into the Isis Mobile Wallet. Starting in mid-2012, consumers will be able to load their eligible Chase, Capital One and Barclaycard cards into their Isis Mobile Wallet and shop at participating merchants, starting with locations across Salt Lake City and Austin, Texas.

“Today’s announcement is testament to the vision and commitment of Chase, Capital One and Barclaycard to make mobile commerce a real and positive experience for their customers,” said Michael Abbott, CEO, Isis. “Mobile commerce is more than a new way to pay; it’s about extending the relationships consumers enjoy with their banks and merchants into a powerful and convenient new form factor.”

The Isis Mobile Wallet will provide consumers with a convenient and secure way to pay, redeem coupons and present loyalty credentials, all with the tap of their phone.  Chase, Capital One and Barclaycard will tailor their cardholder service experience within the Isis Mobile Wallet to reflect their respective brands and ensure a seamless and secure experience across physical cards and mobile platforms.

“Chase is committed to making mobile commerce a reality,” said Richard Quigley, president, Chase Card Services.  “By working with Isis, we are excited to help pave the way for innovation in the mobile payments space and to provide cardmembers with a secure option for easier and faster payments on the go.”

Last July, Isis announced relationships with the top four U.S. payment networks:  Visa, MasterCard, Discover and American Express. Isis’ relationship with the four U.S. payment networks provides banks with the freedom to enable any major network payment card and provide consumers with ubiquity and freedom of choice when deciding which of those cards to load into their Isis Mobile Wallet.

“Our customers have embraced digital and mobile banking and are demanding new and easier ways to manage their financial lives,” said Jack Forestell, executive vice president, Digital, Capital One.  “Our relationship with Isis creates an exciting opportunity for our customers to begin to fully experience the power of mobile commerce.”

Today’s announcement underscores Isis’ inclusive approach, providing all stakeholders – banks, merchants and consumers – with the freedom and choice necessary to foster a robust new industry. Isis is building an ecosystem to provide consumers with a ubiquitous and positive experience across all participating carriers, phone models, payment networks, merchants and banks.

“We believe Isis is strongly positioned to bring the convenience, value and simplicity of mobile commerce to consumers,” said Stewart Holmes, senior director-mobile commerce strategy, Barclaycard US.  “We’re excited to build this offering for customers and our card partners with Isis and look forward to shaping the future of payments.”

The Isis Mobile Wallet will initially launch in Salt Lake City and Austin in mid-2012 and is planning a national rollout to follow.

“While mobile wallets may look and smell the same from afar, Isis is setting itself apart by patiently building an ecosystem of issuer, network and merchant partners, offering an open platform that leaves partners in control of how they will communicate with their customers, and leaving the partners in control of sensitive payment and marketing data transiting over the platform,” says Gwenn Bézard, research director with Aite Group. “Isis’ new announcement sends a clear signal: it is serious about scaling mobile payments.”
