Watchdata was recently declared the winner of the Asian Sesames Award with its DBS Live Fresh 3-in-1 Visa credit card entry. The Asian Sesames Award aims to reward those with the best application in the field of smart card technology, developed for the Asian-Pacific market.

In the 3-in-1 Visa, the DBS Live Fresh embodies three powerful technologies in Watchdata’s TimeCOS CeWave dual-interface technology, which is approved by Visa for Visa Smart Debit Credit and payWave.

It combines EMV security with the speed and convenience of Visa payWave, and transport services based on Singapore Standard for Contactless ePurse Application.
