Beyond contactless payment capabilities, the wallet solution will include services such as loyalty cards and mobile coupons, and will enable merchants and retailers to offer discount programs and deals to customers based on their purchasing history.

According to the release, C-SAM is a secure mobile transactions technology provider, while DNP helps companies develop original mobile wallet service businesses based on C-SAM's Mobile Transaction Platform software. A joint mobile wallet service that integrates C-SAM's MTP and MasterCard contactless technology launched in Singapore in August 2012.
