PayPal has joined GlobalPlatform, the international specification body for smartcard infrastructure, in a move intended to ensure interoperability for next-generation payment methods such as mobile phones.
The online payments firm will be able to participate on the GlobalPlatform advisory council and the organisation’s activities in the mobile and card areas, sharing best practice and technical knowledge with other members.
"Membership in GlobalPlatform is a logical step for PayPal. We recognise the value of sharing knowledge in a way that will benefit the industry as a whole through robust technical standards, greater interoperability and ultimately the wider adoption of online and mobile payments around the world," said PayPal Mobile general manager Eric Duprat.
