Unisys is to market Stockholm-based Mint's mobile payment services to financial sector and telecomms clients.
Mint was launched in January 2001 as an integrated mobile payment and loyalty service enabling consumers to order and pay for goods and services through the use of a mobile device. The consumer can connect any mobile phone to the service and choose to pay on a prepaid or credit basis. In addition, the mobile payment service can be used in security applications and features an Internet payment application.
Unisys says it will provide system integration services to retro-fit Mint's mobile payments, loyalty services, person-to-person transfers and mobile parking payment solutions into a bank's existing services.
"In addition, Unisys can host a company's mobile payment service from a remote location," says Bennet Bayer, vice president, m-commerce at Unisys
