Curve, the ultimate digital wallet, has announced an expanded partnership with Thales, a global leader in advanced technologies, to deliver next-generation secure payment solutions for financial institutions.
This strengthened collaboration follows the recent launch of Curve Pay on iOS—a major milestone in the evolution of mobile payments. By bringing NFC (Near Field Communication) payment capabilities directly into the Curve app, this development enables users on both iOS and Android to make seamless, secure, contactless payments in-store. The move is set to redefine how consumers manage everyday spending.
At the heart of Curve Pay is Thales’ D1 platform, deployed across iOS and Android devices in Europe. This cloud-based solution allows users to digitize their payment cards within a mobile wallet, providing real-time, secure, and flexible payment services. The platform’s seamless integration ensures that consumers enjoy instant and reliable transactions without the need for additional hardware or complex onboarding.
With a growing customer base of over six million users across Europe and existing partnerships with major players like Samsung and PayPal, Curve continues to challenge traditional financial models. The collaboration with Thales further strengthens their longstanding relationship, which previously delivered Huawei Pay powered by Curve.
