Viseca launches new generation of debit card

Together with three banks in Switzerland, the Aduno Group is launching the Debit Mastercard. This modern debit card combines the proven advantages of the traditional bank card with the additional, future-proof functions of a Mastercard: online shopping, worldwide acceptance, security and full spending control. For the Aduno Group, the launch not only means that it can expand its product portfolio, but also that it can offer its banks constant added value as a full service provider. The aim is to always offer customers the most innovative products. The Debit Mastercard is a new generation of payment card that can be used to pay simply, securely and online worldwide.Simple and secure solution for online purchasesWith the Debit Mastercard, customers can pay at over 43 million Mastercard acceptance points worldwide - whether in a local store or online. The Debit Mastercard is equipped with the contactless function and is also ready for mobile payment using a smartphone. Customers who pay with the Debit Mastercard issued by Viseca can rely on the highest security standards. What already applies to all Viseca Mastercards today, thanks to VisecaOne, also applies to the Debit Mastercard. VisecaOne (www.visecaone.ch) was introduced back in 2015 and has made using the Viseca payment card more secure and easier at the same time. More secure thanks to the "Dynamic Strong Authentication" technology and easier thanks to faster 3-D Secure (3DS) authentication when shopping online. In addition, VisecaOne allows customers to be notified in real time about transactions with their cards in the app and know at any time when something has been paid for with their card. As with Viseca's credit cards, online payments with 3DS are also approved for the Debit Mastercard using the VisecaOne app and customers always have a full overview of all their card transactions. In addition, the "Masterpass" digital wallet from Mastercard can be used and managed with VisecaOne. With "Masterpass", all payment information, whether different delivery addresses or preferred shipping and payment methods, is conveniently stored in a central, secure location and does not have to be re-entered every time and in every online store. This means that online shopping is even easier thanks to the Digital Wallet. There is no need to repeatedly enter different card information when checking out, just log in and select the wallet and card to be charged.The future of new payment cards is hereMore and more bank customers are turning to mobile banking. It is important for banks to be able to offer their customers innovative products that fit in with their everyday lives. After all, it's really quite simple: shopping during your lunch break, booking a vacation trip online or quickly ordering dinner from a delivery service - payment, whether with a credit card or a Debit Mastercard, is secure, fast and international. Millions of online stores, stores, hotels, restaurants and airlines around the world accept Mastercard as a cashless payment method. The recipe for success in the area of payment cards therefore lies in the intelligent combination of services. The Debit Mastercard is the innovative bank card that meets the needs of customers and corresponds to their payment behavior. It impresses with its multifunctionality and full range of services in both the virtual and the real world. Customers of Freiburger Kantonalbank and Banque Cantonale du Jura will be able to obtain the Debit Mastercard from their bank from fall 2017 and customers of Aargauische Kantonalbank from spring 2018. There are already plans to combine this card with the functionalities of established cards such as Mastercard Credit or Mastercard PrePaid.
