Meeting New Zealand's Demand for Seamless Digital Payments
We are excited to announce our focus on the New Zealand market, offering our robust Token Management Platform (TMP) to empower local financial players to swiftly and affordably integrate and manage leading digital wallet solutions like Apple Pay and Google Pay. Verestro has just opened a tokenization project in NZ. We will provide the streamlined path for financial institutions to meet and exceed their customers' expectations for modern, secure payments.
The Power of Tokenization: Simple & Secure Payments
At the core of secure and convenient digital payments is tokenization. Verestro's Token Management Platform (TMP) is a comprehensive solution designed to simplify this complex process for issuers. It acts as a crucial bridge, enabling banks and fintechs to:
Quickly Launch and Optimize Apple Pay and Google Pay: Our platform drastically reduces the time and effort required to integrate with major digital wallets, allowing you to go live or enhance your existing Apple Pay or Google Pay program in 2-3 months.
Affordable Implementation: We understand the importance of cost-efficiency. Our solution is designed to be budget-friendly, making advanced tokenization accessible to a wider range of financial institutions aiming to offer these in-demand services.
Global Expertise, Local Focus: While our tokenization solutions are globally available, our intensified focus now is on empowering New Zealand's financial ecosystem with world-class payment capabilities, ensuring local support and understanding.
Tokenization Solutions: Your Gateway to Effortless Integration
The Verestro Token Management Platform (TMP) is more than just a tool; it's a complete ecosystem designed to streamline the entire tokenization journey. Here's what makes our TMP an invaluable asset:
Single Interface for Multiple TSPs: The TMP seamlessly integrates with major Token Service Providers (TSPs) like Mastercard MDES and Visa VTS. This means issuers only need to integrate with our single interface, rather than developing separate, complex integrations for each TSP, significantly simplifying the process.
Comprehensive Token Management: From initial configuration and customization to ongoing management and integration, the TMP ensures an end-to-end token management process.
Support for Diverse Token Requestors: Our platform fully supports various token requestors (e.g., Google Pay, Apple Pay, Fitbit Pay, Samsung Pay) and adheres to their specific requirements and recommended implementations.
Minimum Development for Issuers: Thanks to the TMP, issuers can manage tokens with various token requestors with minimal in-house development, freeing up valuable resources and accelerating time-to-market.
