BRD Issued More Than 140,000 Contactless Cards And Keeps Supporting This Technology

27 Mar 2014

Winners of the latest BRD campaign supporting MasterCard PayPass technology will be able to see Justin Timberlake live

BRD-Groupe Société Générale issued more than 140.000 contactless cards on the Romanian market. The bank begun issuing contactless cards in 2010, using „MasterCard PayPass” technology. The acceptance network developed also and counts now more than 3,000 contactless-compatible terminals. Over the last 6 months, the value of transactions with contactless cards issued by BRD is up 60%.

After the launch of the cards based on the new technology, the bank added the new functionality to classic banking cards, continuing to implement contactless technology in the public transport or at bank automated machines.

BRD developed its own concept based on a technical platform certified by MasterCard as a unique model at European level. "BRD Transport" integrated solution was implemented in cities like Sibiu, Galaţi, Braşov and Arad and was granted several prizes by specialized Romanian publications.

Until April 20, BRD and MasterCard perform a campaign dedicated to contactless card users. To enter in this promotion, BRD MasterCard PayPass and Maestro PayPass card holders must perform transactions at POS, in Romania or abroad. Customers have twice more chances to win if they pay contactless.

Prizes are grated through a draw and consist in:

- 3 tourist packages for 2 persons (transport and 4* hotel) on May 16 – 18, 2014 for Justin Timberlake’s concert in Olimpiisky Arena, Moscow, on May 17, 2014

or

- One of the 150 Gift Cards charged, each, with 500 lei

Contactless technology allows the performance of small value payments by simply approaching the contactless card to a reader. It is specific to quick small payments, PIN not being necessary for payments under 100 RON.

BRD-Groupe Société Générale is the second bank in Romania considering the total assets’ volume and the first one in terms of major corporate clients and syndicated facilities at mid 2013. BRD - Groupe Société Générale has 2.3 million customers and operates a network of approximately 900 units. With over 2.3 million valid cards and a network acceptance over 21,600 POS, and 1,500 ATMs, BRD is no. 1 on the Romanian card market. With factoring operations exceeding EUR 1 billion in 2012, BRD is the leader of the factoring market.

BRD is part of the Société Générale Group, one of the largest European financial services groups. The group has 154,000 employees in 76 countries and 32 million customers worldwide in its three key activities:

Retail banking in France
International retail banking, financial services and insurance
