OTI Deploys NFC Payment Solutions to a Consortium of Banks in Hong Kong, Taiwan and Macao

ROSH PINA, ISRAEL--(Marketwired - Nov 13, 2013) - On Track Innovations Ltd. (OTI) (NASDAQ: OTIV), a global leader in cashless payment solutions based on contactless transactions and near-field communication (NFC) technology, has deployed its industry-leading NFC payment system for a consortium of regional banks in Hong Kong, Taiwan and Macao. The deployment was made through its new channel partner, Tradelink Electronic Commerce (HKSE: 536), a Hong Kong-based pioneer in e-commerce.

The deployment includes OTI's NFC newly introduced WAVE audio-jack add-on device for smartphones, tablets and PCs. The patented WAVE device enables banking customers whose mobile devices do not have built-in NFC technology to perform contactless payment transactions, effectively transforming their devices into digital wallets. It also gives banks control over the Secure Element, eliminating dependency on third party organizations like Mobile Network Operators.

Recently certified by MasterCard, the WAVE is the industry's first audio jack plug-in NFC payment solution, and the first and only to receive certification from a major payment processor. The WAVE connects to the device's operating system via the audio jack, allowing for PIN code authentication and Over-the-Air (OTA) capabilities such as reloading cash electronically, checking available balances, remote personalization and downloading new applications.

Users can add approved credit cards, payment cards and loyalty cards to their new digital wallets via OTI's patented secure technology, allowing retailers to implement real-time value-added services like loyalty programs, location based advertisements and promotions.

As an additional option, the WAVE can also support Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) for e-banking and on-line authentication, as well as cross border use during international travel. The easy-to-use device opens the door to a whole new world of mobile device applications, increasing privacy and security while removing the burden of a wallet full of cards.

"This large initial shipment of our WAVE solution reflects the increasing global demand for NFC payment capabilities and marks a significant milestone for OTI," said the company's CEO, Ofer Tziperman. "Major channel partners like Tradelink help us rapidly gain access to new markets and regional banking networks. We expect this new large-scale deployment will serve as a model for adoption by potential customers looking to implement safe, secure and cost-effective NFC solutions."

Michael Wu, Tradelink's executive director and CEO, commented: "As the pioneer of e-commerce in Hong Kong's banking and trading sector, we seek cutting edge technology to maintain the highest level of secure and reliable transaction services. After a thorough evaluation process, we found OTI's NFC payment platform and WAVE device to be unparalleled. OTI is able to deliver a simple yet secure solution to the end user, while retailers and payment processors benefit from new marketing opportunities, such as location-based coupons and loyalty programs which increase revenue and drive measurable ROI."
