Julian Opuni, MD, Fidelity Bank<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

AS PART of
\nFidelity Bank\u2019s ongoing digital transformation to support its aggressive
\ncustomer-centric drive, it has introduced Visa-contactless cards and is
\nincreasing contactless card enabled POS terminals in Ghana. <\/p>\n

Fidelity
\nBank is the first mover to further entrench its focus on customer convenience.<\/p>\n

By this action,
\nFidelity Bank joins an international group of Visa member banks across the
\nCentral Europe, Middle East & Africa (CEMEA) region to begin issuing cards
\nand deploying terminals that have contactless capabilities.<\/p>\n

The
\ncontactless cards only require customers to \u2018tap and go\u2019 on the acceptance
\ndevice to execute low value transactions.<\/p>\n

Commenting
\non Fidelity Bank\u2019s newest introduction, the Managing Director of Fidelity Bank,
\nMr. Julian Opuni, noted that
\nFidelity Bank is poised to deploy all relevant digital innovations which would enhance
\ncustomer experience. <\/p>\n

\u201cAt the
\nheart of Fidelity is the desire to always put the customer first and offer real
\nconvenience to them, so Visa\u2019s innovative product enhancement could not have
\ncome at a better time,\u201d Mr. Opuni stated.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe
\ncontactless card presents convenience, as customers do not need a PIN code for
\nlow value transactions. Most importantly, it is faster to make payments at POS
\ncheckouts, as it uses a security chip. Moreover, the card remains in the
\ncardholder\u2019s hand during transaction,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

Fidelity Bank plans to deploy about 200 contactless POS terminals by the end of the year. <\/p>\n
