Ester Jimenez

Product marketing for payment and transport applications

I joined Infineon back in 2015 as marketing manager for payment solutions in the Connected Secure Systems division. I'm responsible for the security controllers and related hardware system offerings for both payment and transport applications. In close contact with key customers and relevant players in the payment ecosystem, I have brought leading and innovative products to the market, which make Infineon the market leader for security solutions in the payment arena. Currently our focus is on improving sustainability for our payment offerings.

Title of presentation: “Getting greener: Innovations for more sustainable payment smart cards”

Presentation summary: Contactless payment cards are experiencing accelerating growth. Their limited service life for security and chip expiry reasons means that billions of plastic cards are scrapped every year. Industry stakeholders are making concerted efforts to meet consumer demand for more sustainable cards. Instead of first-use plastic or virgin PVC, manufacturers have started using recycled materials or PETG. Infineon is consistently developing its product family of security controllers for high-quality dual-interface payment cards. New technological approaches enable a design without embedded copper wire inlay sheets and different sandwich layers.

Fang Lu-Ruhbach

Title of presentation: “What are the popularity drivers for biometric payment cards?”

Presentation summary: Biometric payment cards offer more convenient and hygienic payment experiences as card holders can verify their identity by simply placing a finger on the card's sensor and tapping the card at the terminal. This makes the biometric payment process faster than PIN-based transactions. Provided the transaction volume is below certain predefined limits, the user does not even need to enter a PIN for the transaction at the point of sale (POS).

Market requirements at card level are clear: robustness, reliability over time, and cost-effectiveness are must-haves. In addition, however, cost-efficient, environmentally friendly, and convenient biometric enrollment processes are essential for widespread market acceptance. We would like to share our vision for biometric payment cards with you and illustrate how we are driving market growth together with our ecosystem partners.

Title of presentation: Tapping into the future of payment card innovations: “How to differentiate in the payment card space with LED illumination and new use cases with NFC tags”

Presentation summary: Enabled by increasingly powerful contactless payment technologies, the convenience of “tap to pay” is driving widespread adoption. Innovations in smart cards, like the integration of LEDs, illustrate the trend towards interactive and engaging user experiences. Other innovative features include personalized branding on card modules to elevate the user experience, creating a unique identity for each card that resonates with the user. Infineon addresses these evolving demands for sustainability and customization in payment cards with its innovative Coil on Module technology, which is adaptable to diverse card materials.

Miriam Daschner

Title of presentation: "Unlock the power of payment innovation: Exploring new form factors"

Presentation summary: Innovative form factors are transforming the way we make payments. Wearables such as smart watches, fitness trackers, and accessories have emerged as popular alternatives to make payments on the go. Accessories such as rings, key fobs, bracelets, and even payment fingernails are becoming increasingly popular due to their convenience and stylish designs. The continuing expansion of contactless infrastructure and growing availability of tokenization and card digitalization services are paving the way for almost anything to be turned into a contactless payment device. In this session we will delve into the world of wearable payments, exploring their benefits and values for consumers, and how they are changing the way we transact.
