Contactless bank cards to grow 30% : Eurosmart

摘要

Shipments of contactless bank payment cards will grow by almost 30% in 2011, following a nearly 50% jump in 2010, as the U.S. market recovers and banks in Europe and Asia ship more dual-interface cards, according to Eurosmart. At the same time, 2011 will see the first significant quantities of NFC-enabled SIM cards shipped, with 15 million NFC "secure elements" projected for the year, said Eurosmart.
