As the first technology partner to join VDRP in Asia Pacific, Thales reinforces its leadership in digital payments while supporting Visa’s ambition to accelerate the deployment of Click to Pay across the region.
As financial institutions across Asia Pacific accelerate their digital transformation, they face growing demand to deliver payment experiences that are both frictionless for consumers and resilient against evolving cyber threats. By joining the Visa Digitalization Ready Program (VDRP), Thales will help issuers accelerate the deployment of next-generation digital payment services, combining trusted security, simplified integration and faster time to market.
The collaboration will initially focus on Click to Pay and Payment Passkeys, powered by Thales' market-leading D1 platform. By streamlining the integration of Visa's digital services, Thales enables issuers to reduce implementation complexity, accelerate deployment and deliver secure, intuitive payment experiences at scale.
The collaboration reflects a shared commitment by Visa and Thales to support issuers throughout their digital transformation. Together, the two companies will drive the adoption of trusted digital payment services that combine greater convenience for consumers with stronger security and authentication, helping financial institutions respond to rapidly evolving customer expectations.
Recognised for its global expertise in digital issuance and tokenisation, Thales' D1 platform enables issuers to rapidly activate Visa's digital payment capabilities while ensuring high levels of security, scalability and performance. This allows financial institutions to offer faster, frictionless checkout experiences without compromising trust.
"As digital payments continue to evolve, issuers need a trusted technology partner that can combine innovation, security and speed to market. With decades of expertise across both physical and digital payment technologies, Thales is uniquely positioned to help financial institutions accelerate their digital transformation. Through our collaboration with Visa, we are enabling payment providers across Asia Pacific to deliver next-generation payment experiences that combine the highest levels of security with the seamless convenience consumers expect," said Nassir Ghrous, Vice President, Banking & Payment Services, Asia, Middle East & Africa, Thales.
