About Us
DIGISEQ was founded in 2014 by two senior Mastercard architects, who were integral to the creation of the Mastercard Digital Enablement Service, known more commonly as MDES and used for the deployment of both Apple and Google Pay.
Their vision was to take the technology beyond mobile and develop a solution for brands and consumers alike that would be far more affordable and multi-faceted.
DIGISEQ believes that consumers deserve the freedom to choose to use any object they want to pay or for identification. Our award-winning IoT platform provides an end-to-end service which securely delivers data into everyday wearables, enabling objects – with or without internet access – to have NFC payment, Access Control, Digital Identity and User Engagement contactless functionality.
DIGISEQ connects an entire ecosystem, serving as a centrepiece between banks, product creators, retailers, chip manufacturers and service providers. Our platform offers businesses a seamless all-in-one solution for entering the wearable technology market, empowering them with our existing infrastructure, partners, hardware and security systems to create wearable technology. As pioneers and market leaders of passive wearable payment technology, we aim to be the world’s largest issuing network.
