LONDON, July 25, 2012 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Identive Group, Inc.

tomPAY™ features a unique remove and stick form factor that allows it to be manufactured using standard ISO PVC card manufacturing process. tomPAY™ can be used as conventional contactless cashless payment card or the NFC Tag portion can be peeled off and affixed to a mobile phone. When placed on a mobile device, tomPAY™ enables contactless mobile payments and also can be used for loyalty or other applications. tomPAY™ can be adapted to support EMV-compliant (SDA/DDA) chips, opening new opportunities for card makers and issuers to provide their customers with an EMV-enabled tap-and-go experience.

"We are excited that our new tomPAY™ product is used at a major event like the London Olympics shortly after its launch a few weeks ago. We are gratified that tomPAY™ has been accepted and is expected to be used by up to 100,000 visitors for mobile payment at hospitality events in London," said Dr. Manfred Mueller, COO of Identification Products for Identive. "This is a great occasion to showcase our innovative NFC tags and our proprietary patented and patent pending technology in a challenging environment with a large number of users and daily transactions."

Identive developed its patented tom™ technology ("tag on metal") to overcome the issues inherent to RFID performance when in contact with metal surfaces. The performance of conventional RFID tags is adversely affected by exposure to interference generated from metals, such as the components of mobile phones.
