Curve Pay has partnered with cybersecurity and digital identity specialist Thales to strengthen the security of mobile wallet payments on iPhones.

Curve Pay has partnered with cybersecurity and digital identity specialist Thales to strengthen the security of mobile wallet payments on iPhones.

The collaboration coincides with the launch of Curve Pay on iOS, enabling contactless NFC payments directly through the Curve app for both Android and iOS users, according to FF News.

The integration is powered by Thales’ cloud-based D1 platform, which allows for real-time card digitisation and secure mobile transactions.

With over six million customers across Europe and existing partnerships with Samsung and PayPal, Curve continues to position itself as a leading challenger in the digital payments space. This new partnership builds on an earlier successful collaboration between the two firms, which delivered Huawei Pay powered by Curve.

“At Curve, we’re committed to redefining the digital wallet experience. Our collaboration with Thales marks a significant step in providing users with a seamless, secure, and innovative payment solution,” said Shachar Bialick, founder and CEO of Curve. “By building robust guardrails into Curve Pay, powered by Thales’ industry-leading platform, we’re not just safeguarding transactions, we’re empowering our customers to take full control of their financial lives.”

François Chaffard, director of digital payment services at Thales, added, “At Thales, we believe that secure, open, and user-centric digital payment experiences are the future. Our collaboration with Curve Pay is a clear example of how innovative fintechs and trusted technology partners can shape that future together. By integrating our D1 platform, we’re enabling a new level of freedom and flexibility for mobile NFC payments – without compromising on security or compliance. This milestone reflects our shared commitment to giving users more control, while supporting a dynamic payment ecosystem.”
