Thales fully supports the success of Vipps, Norway's leading mobile wallet, which has enabled over one million users for mobile contactless payments since December 2024.

Vipps wallet users are the first to benefit from a third-party mobile contactless payment solution on iOS, enabled by Thales D1 technology that securely digitizes payment cards on smartphone.

This milestone highlights Thales' continued leadership in digital payments and its commitment to support fast, large-scale innovation in partnership with financial players.

With the launch of NFC payments for iPhone and Android devices, Vipps became the first third-party wallet on iOS to offer this feature-an industry first. Behind this innovation, Thales provided the technology foundation, its D1 platform, that made this achievement possible, ensuring a smooth, secure, and scalable experience for Norwegian consumers.

A breakthrough in everyday payments

In just 24 hours after the launch, more than 200,000 digital cards were activated-clear proof of the demand for simple and secure digital payments. Behind the scenes, Thales D1 technology enabled users to get a digital payment card - just in few seconds - on Vipps' wallet, and proceed with contactless payment at shops, getting on top real time transaction notification on their iPhones. Since the launch, Vipps users enjoy a fast and convenient alternative to traditional mobile wallets for everyday purchases.

Currently supporting Norway's domestic BankAxept cards, Vipps will expand to include international schemes such as Visa and Mastercard in the coming months, broadening its reach and usability across borders.

Thales D1 platform boosting innovation

Built for innovation, the D1 platform supported Vipps by adding contactless payment to their wallet. This showcases the platforms ability to consistently add new innovative use cases, while providing a scalable and secure solution that grows with customer needs.

The D1 platform is cloud-based and works in real time, making it easy to integrate with existing systems. It helps Thales customers respond to today's expectations for secure, flexible, and instant payment services - such as modern card issuing, tokenization, or transaction control - while also preparing for the future of payments.

Trusted collaboration driving success

Everything we do at Vipps is about simplifying life for people and businesses. Hitting one million users for contactless payments shows that this is something people really want. Now, we are looking forward to when our users can add Visa and Mastercard to Vipps, enabling them to tap their phones and pay with Vipps across the world. Our collaboration with Thales has been key to making all this happen. Rune Garborg, CEO of Vipps MobilePay.

Driven by strong collaboration between our teams, we successfully met ambitious launch timelines and proved the strength of our operations - delivering a reliable, high-performance service that handled both the surge in demand at launch and the steady, high-volume usage that continues today.he D1 platform is also a key enabler of innovative digital payment services, helping financial players expand and thrive in an increasingly competitive payments landscape. Fran ois Chaffard, Vice President Digital Payment Services at Thales.

With this milestone, Thales reaffirms its role as a trusted partner in the future of digital payments, helping financial institutions offer flexible, future-ready solutions that meet consumers' evolving expectations.
