“Contactless applications make transactions easier, faster, and more convenient,” says Mr. Gilbert Leung, ACS’s Vice President of Sales and Marketing. “We would like not only to enable such transactions, but also to make contactless transactions possible across different environments, while offering the highest levels of security and functionality.”
