Manager.one and IDEMIA collaborate to elevate the banking experience with Card Connect

Manager.one, a leading online bank, has strengthened its partnership with IDEMIA to enhance its range of digital banking solutions. This strategic collaboration integrates IDEMIA’s state-of-the-art Card Connect technology into manager.one’s suite of technologies for enhanced security and convenience as well as a host of time-saving features.

IDEMIA Card Connect forms a bridge between the physical and digital worlds—customers can now combine their traditional payment card with a mobile app while Strong Customer Authentication (SCA) ensures that personal data remains secure. Data transfer between a card applet and a smartphone is seamless, with static information stored on the card applet when the card is personalized or the smartphone is linked to it, and dynamic data is generated each time the card is tapped on the phone. The card applet incorporates cryptographic features to protect data and allows SCA features such as One Time Passwords (OTP) or digital signatures for ultimate card issuer flexibility.

Manager.one entrusts IDEMIA to integrate their Card Connect technology into its own “Connected Card” feature. Connected Card allows users to share their name, job title, and other contact details as a digital business card. To do this, the cardholder simply taps their physical card onto an NFC-enabled phone, which instantly updates their contact card in the person’s address book.

IDEMIA has supplied physical payment cards to manager.one since 2020. As the partnership evolved, IDEMIA’s increasingly advanced technology has been integrated to enhance the manager.one card. By choosing IDEMIA Card Connect, manager.one has demonstrated its dedication to providing innovative banking services and staying at the forefront of the digital banking sector, catering to the evolving needs of its customers.

We are thrilled to collaborate with manager.one, a true innovator in the payment landscape committed to delivering customer-centric solutions. Strengthening our partnership to include IDEMIA Card Connect with manager.one’s Connected Card feature showcases the synergy between our mission and technologies, elevating the banking experience to benefit our customers.
