This partnership comes on the back of Curve launching Curve Pay on iOS, marking a watershed moment in mobile payments. This partnership is a significant step to reshaping everyday spending, allowing Curve customers to benefit from NFC payment directly in the Curve App for contactless payments in store for all end-users on iOS and Android.
Curve Pay is underpinned by Thales’ D1 platform on iOS and Android in Europe which allows customers to digitize a payment card through a mobile wallet.

With over six million customers in Europe, and existing partnerships with major brands such as Samsung and PayPal, Curve has long led the charge against the traditional players avoiding fees and offering consumers real choice. This collaboration with Thales confirms a longstanding technological partnership which successfully provided for 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.”
“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,” said François Chaffard, Vice President of Digital Payment Services at Thales. “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.”
