Der Ausbruch kommt 2006. Der Markt ist riesengross und Oti hängt fast überall mit drinn.
Auf dem deutschen Markt ist die EC-Karte bald nicht mehr tragbar. Die Banken haben immer mehr Betrugsfälle zu bearbeiten. Sie können es sich fast nicht mehr leisten darann festzuhalten. Die alte Form der Bezahl-Karten können schon im Internet gekauft werden. Der Betrug kommt den Banken immer teurer. Bald ist das Limit überschritten, dann kommt das Oti Zahlungssystem zum Zuge.
Bleibt investiert, es wird sich lohnen!!!!! Ich glaube an dieses System.
Nur der Vorstand spielt eine seltsame Rolle.

* Revenues Up 72% Compared to First Nine Months of 2004
* Revenues Up 120% Compared to Third Quarter of 2004
* Growth Related Mainly to Contactless Payments Market in the US
FORT LEE, N.J., Nov. 28 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- On Track Innovations Ltd. (OTI) (Nasdaq: OTIV; Prime Standard (Frankfurt): OT5), a global leader in contactless microprocessor-based smart card solutions for homeland security, payments, petroleum payments and other applications, today announced its consolidated financial results for the nine months ended September 30, 2005.
* Revenues for the first nine months increased by 72% to $26.4 million
from $15.4 million for the same period of last year.
* Revenues for the third quarter increased by 120% to $12.1 million from
$5.5 million for the same period of last year.
* Strong balance sheet with cash, cash equivalents and short term
investments of more than $30 million excluding more than $20 million
raised earlier this month through a private placement.
* The Company incurred in the nine months ended September 30, 2005
expenses of $1.8 million related to the Company's extraordinary activity
in the Far-East.
* Cash used in operating activities amounted to $1.1 M for the nine months
ended September 30, 2005.
* Net loss for the first nine months of 2005 decreased by 4% to $(6.8)
million, from $(7.1) million for the same period in 2004.
* Licensing and transaction fees for the first nine months were up 107% to
$2.2 million from $1.1 million for the same period in 2004.
* Gross margin for nine months decreased to 35% from 42% for the same
period in 2004. The decrease in our overall gross margin is mainly due
to the execution of the initial stages of projects which are
characterized by lower margins in their early stages.
Oded Bashan, President & CEO of OTI, commented: "We are pleased with our results. We are starting to see the results of our strategy, we are well positioned with strong and important contracts in hand. The increase in revenues represents the rapid advancements in the contactless market around the world, and mainly, the contactless payments market in the US. Our financial position at the end of nine month remains strong with more than $30 million in cash and cash equivalents and short term investments."
"The private placement for more then $20M we completed at the beginning of fourth quarter will further assist us in continuing with the restructuring and executing large contracts and opportunities for the company. The investors in this transaction were institutional investors from the US, Switzerland and United Kingdom."
"While revenues were up 72% for the nine months, compared to the same period last year, our gross margin decreased to 35%, mainly due to the execution of initial stages of projects which are characterized by lower margins in their early stages." Mr. Bashan continued, "The completion of a series of strategic acquisitions in China that we announced earlier this year will assist us in increasing these margins, we continue to implement our strategy of capturing a leading position in the contactless market."

cards in 2005 in the US.

venture for manufacturing and selling electronic travel document inlays

of 2006.
* OTI grants BP a worldwide license to enable expansion beyond Africa -

for the Seattle Seahawks to support its MasterCard PayPass(TM) program.
Company Developments
* OTI completed a series of strategic acquisitions in China, increasing
manufacturing capacity to 1.5 million units per week by the second half
of 2006. The transactions will substantially increase OTI's capacity to
manufacture smart cards, inlays for smart cards & electronic passports,
and machinery for the fabrication of such products. We anticipate that
the increased capacity will enable us to meet the rollouts and rapidly
growing demand for our payments and ID products, As a result, OTI

Introduction
The mass market introduction of contactless technology is an important event for the payments industry. Contactless payments are already providing benefits to consumers and retailers alike, in terms of higher levels of control and convenience for consumers and higher throughput for retailers. And these benefits are just the tip of the iceberg.
This paper describes the key changes associated with the use of contactless payments in North America, including the additional value such payments can provide to issuers, acquirers/processors, independent sales organizations (ISOs), retailers, and consumers. This paper is also intended to facilitate communications among the various industry stakeholders by describing current market activities and standardizing definitions key to understanding contactless payments. All stakeholders benefit from a clear understanding of how contactless payments deliver new benefits while also leveraging the reliability and trustworthiness of current payment systems.
This year, the launch of contactless payments across North America has begun in earnest. Leading banks are issuing millions of contactless credit and debit cards to consumers, and leading retailers are installing contactless readers that can accept contactless payment and are integrated with point-of-sale (POS) systems. The rate of deployment of contactless infrastructure is the highest ever observed for emerging payments products and technology in recent memory and speaks of a unique market momentum for the industry. This year marks the beginning of contactless payment adoption in the U.S., a process that requires consumers to understand how to use the technology and requires everyone involved to understand its value and relationship to the existing payments infrastructure.
What Exactly Is Contactless Smart Chip Technology?
Contactless smart chip technology relies on a secure microcontroller or equivalent intelligence, internal memory, and a small antenna embedded in a device that communicates with a reader through a contactless radio frequency (RF) interface. This technology is used in a wide range of applications. From delivering fast, secure transactions as in transit fare payment cards to protecting personal information in government and corporate identification cards, electronic passports and visas, contactless smart chip technology is being leveraged to improve speed, convenience and security.
Contactless smart chips can securely manage, store, and provide access to data on the device in which they are embedded. They can perform internal functions (e.g., encryption) and interact intelligently with the contactless reader. Contactless smart chip technology is available in a variety of forms – plastic cards, watches, key fobs, documents, and other handheld devices, such as mobile phones. This technology is not related to “non-smart” RF chip technologies, such as the RFID tags used for inventory management/product tracking applications, which require minimal functionality.
“Contactless payments” [1] is one application of contactless smart chip technology. Contactless payments are simply payment transactions that require no physical connection between the consumer payment device and the physical POS terminal. In the United States, the term “contactless payments” refers to the use of payment products currently supported by American Express® (ExpressPay), MasterCard (MasterCard® PayPass™), and Visa Contactless. All three products are based on ISO/IEC 14443, the international standard for contactless smart chip technology. [2] Contactless payment devices are restricted to be read within 2–4 inches of a POS terminal vs. RFID tags which are designed to be read at large distances. In addition, contactless payment applications include other measures that are specifically designed to protect the security of the consumer’s information and the payment transaction.
Why Use Contactless Payments?
Just what are the advantages of contactless payments over other methods of payment – magnetic stripe cards and cash? Why are merchants moving to deploy this new form of payment? Why are consumers willing to change the way they pay? The answer is speed and convenience, as has been substantiated in the early implementations. Consumers no longer have to fumble with cash and change or worry about having enough cash for a purchase—they can tap their contactless payment device on a reader and go. In most cases, they do not even have to sign a receipt or enter a personal identification number (PIN). As a result, merchants see sales volumes increase and transactions speed up. Merchants also enjoy lower costs, as a result of fewer requirements to handle cash, improved operational efficiencies, and reduced maintenance required by contactless readers. In merchant segments where speed and convenience are key to merchandising and customer service, contactless payments also translate into improved customer acquisition and retention.
By issuing secure contactless payment devices, financial service providers are not only supplying consumers with a more convenient payment mechanism, they are also increasing transaction volumes by replacing cash. In addition, service providers can now differentiate themselves with innovative new form factors.
In the long term, contactless cards and tokens enable merchants and issuers to collaborate on lifestyle products that blend the features (e.g., security, convenience, special offers), packaging (e.g., cards, tokens, personal devices, mobile phones), and delivery of payment products into a variety of product types targeting different cardholder segments that have specific desires for their shopping experience.
What Current Market Activities Are Attracting Attention?
Over the last few months, quite a buzz has surrounded the contactless payments market. Multiple card issuers have announced rollouts of contactless cards in the United States. Issuers and merchants are targeting 8–10 major markets in 2005, with many more to follow.
* JPMorgan Chase has started deploying the contactless “blink” card in Atlanta and Denver. Chase announced it will issue more than 1 million cards in both cities and is planning to issue additional contactless cards in more cities this year. The Chase blink card is based on the Visa and MasterCard contactless payment technologies.
* American Express has started nationwide issuance of new Blue Cards with ExpressPay contactless payment technology.
* MBNA has been issuing its affinity credit cards, targeting specific sports stadiums in multiple cities. The card is based on MasterCard PayPass contactless technology.
* Citibank has announced that it will issue 2.5 million debit cards and key fobs with MasterCard PayPass contactless technology.
* Keybank has announced plans to issue contactless debit cards based on MasterCard PayPass technology, replacing all of its debit card portfolio with the contactless cards.
* HSBC Bank has announced that it has begun issuing new debit cards that feature MasterCard PayPass contactless payment technology to new and existing customers.
The transaction experience as we know it is going to change. According to the May 2005 Nilson Report, “There should be 5 to 7 million Visa and MasterCard contactless chip cards in the market by year-end, and 15 to 20 million by the end of 2006.”
The card issuers are not going it alone. Many of the nation’s top national and regional retailers have either enabled or are in the process of enabling their POS systems to accept contactless payment cards and key fobs. Top retailers who have decided to start accepting contactless payments at all of their store locations in the United States include:
* 7-Eleven, Inc.
* Boater’s World Marine Centers®
* CVS/pharmacy®
* McDonald’s®
§
* Regal (Theaters) Entertainment Group
* Meijer Stores
* Ritz Camera
* Sheetz
Many medium-sized and smaller merchants are being assisted by acquirers and ISOs so that they can begin accepting contactless payments shortly. Finally, a long list of well-recognized retailers have enabled some or all their store locations in at least one of the targeted cities to accept contactless payments. The list includes:
* AMC Theaters ®
* Arby’s®
* Carl’s Jr. ®
* Cold Stone Creamery®
* Duane Reade
* Eckerd
§
* Good Times Burger
* KFC
* RaceTrac
* Subway®
* United Artist Theaters
* Walgreens
Another form of retailing, major sports stadiums and entertainment venues, are also being enabled to accept contactless payments. Sports fans and event attendees can obtain MasterCard PayPass-enabled contactless cards and key fobs with their favorite sports logo on them. MBNA is issuing PayPass-enabled branded affinity cards for the Seattle Seahawks, Baltimore Ravens, Philadelphia Eagles, Detroit Lions, and New York Giants that let fans speed through concession lines. At some stadiums, certain lines are dedicated to this new form of payment.
What Does It All Mean?
Even at this early stage, the evidence shows that contactless payments have the strong potential for rapid adoption in the U.S. Contactless payments offer a new, safe way to pay that not only provides benefits to consumers, merchants, and issuers, but also opens the door to new form factors and related value-added applications. Contactless payments allow creativity and differentiation to flourish on the foundation of the mature card industry.
Contactless payments are the most important card payment innovation in the last decade. Early adoption on the part of many major card issuers and top-brand merchants, and investments by and cooperation with the card associations, mean that 2005 is the year of contactless payments for North America. Significant numbers of contactless cards are being issued, the number of accepting merchant locations is increasing rapidly, and consumer usage is steadily increasing.
Contactless payments are safe, secure, and convenient. Although based on chip-level RF technology, contactless payment technology is fundamentally different from RFID and is built from the ground up on requirements for high security. Contactless payment devices use sophisticated smart chip technology with built-in intelligence and multiple safeguards specifically designed to protect against fraud. Built on the current payment infrastructure, contactless payments leverage layered security systems and deliver clear value propositions to all stakeholders. Consumers enjoy the convenience, merchants realize faster checkout times and increased throughput, and issuers achieve increased activation rates and usage.
Over the next few months, we can expect to see significant growth in the adoption and use ofcontactless payments in the U.S. Other market innovations made possible by the use of smart chip technology, such as loyalty, rewards, and other value-added offerings, are already emerging alongside contactless payments. A new era of payment has begun in the United States.
Notes
[1] This paper deliberately omits other RF-based payment approaches such as toll transponders or ExxonMobil SpeedPass, which are proprietary solutions. It also omits mobile/wireless payments based on Near Field Communication (NFC) technology
[2] In countries where payment cards are migrating to contact smart card technology, contactless payment implementation requires a dual-interface smart card allowing payment in both contact and contactless modes.
About the Smart Card Alliance Contactless Payments Council
The Contactless Payments Council is one of several Smart Card Alliance technology and industry councils, a new type of focused group within the overall structure of the Alliance. The Contactless Payments Council was formed to focus on facilitating the adoption of contactless payments in the U.S. through education programs for consumers, merchants and issuers. The group is bringing together financial payments industry leaders and suppliers and will be reaching out to involve the merchant community. The Council’s primary goal is to inform and educate the market about the value of contactless payment and work to address misconceptions about the capabilities and security of contactless smart chip technology. Council participation is open to any Smart Card Alliance member who wishes to contribute to the Council projects.
FORT LEE, N.J., Dec. 5 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- On Track Innovations Ltd., (OTI) (Nasdaq: OTIV; Prime Standard [Frankfurt]: OT5), a global leader in contactless microprocessor-based smart card solutions for homeland security, payments and other applications, said that the United States Court of Federal Claims in Washington, D.C. found in favor of OTI America, Inc. ("OTI"), in OTI's protest against the Government Printing Office's ("GPO") elimination of OTI from the competition for the United States Government's Electronic Passport program. The Court's written opinion remains under seal, pending the preparation of a redacted version.
OTI, along with several other firms, received an individual contract with the GPO, under which the GPO was testing and evaluating sample Electronic Passports, prior to selecting the winner. During testing the GPO terminated OTI's contract, effectively eliminating OTI from the ongoing competition.
OTI, represented by William Weisberg in the Washington, D.C. office of ZAG/Sullivan & Worcester, challenged the GPO's action in the U.S. Court of Federal Claims. In finding in favor for OTI, the Court set aside the GPO's termination of OTI's contract. The Court went on to order the GPO to reinstate OTI into the competition and to resume testing OTI's products at the same stage of the competition from which OTI had been eliminated. OTI expects to immediately resume program activity.
According to Oded Bashan, President & CEO, "We are pleased with the court decision to reinstate OTI into the competition for the award of the U.S. Electronic Passport contract. OTI is confident in the superiority of its technology and product and we are looking forward to continue in the evaluation process and become a supplier to the U.S. Government."

MasterCard International today launched its global Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) ‘OneSmart Club’ to help banks and other financial industry players active in the GCC market to develop new payment products and services using the latest chip technology. Mastercard
The Club, which has already been successfully operating in other regions around the world, was launched at a day long inaugural event at the Park Hyatt hotel in Dubai where more than 50 delegates from the United Arab Emirates, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Bahrain, Qatar and Oman were present.
Speakers included Mr. Dave Taylor from Barclaycard in the UK and Mrs. Ina Stander from South African bank, Capitec, both of whom recently launched added-value EMV chip-based projects. Representatives from more that 15 other companies attended to demonstrate their commitment and support to MasterCard OneSmart™ value added solutions.
The GCC OneSmart Club is designed to help MasterCard's bank customers leverage the fast growing EMV chip infrastructure through the deployment of added-value chip business propositions. The GCC OneSmart Club will initially focus on five such propositions:
• OneSmart MasterCard Pre-Authorised – featuring MasterCard M/Chip™ Pre-Authorised Payment (MPA). A new chip-based payment solution suitable for new markets and off-line payment environments.
• OneSmart MasterCard Authentication – featuring MasterCard’s Chip Authentications Program™ (CAP). A program which ensures a higher level of security for online shopping and remote banking.
• OneSmart MasterCard Web - featuring MasterCard Open Data Storage™ (MODS) and MasterCard’s Chip Authentications Program (CAP). This package allows cardholders to securely store and manage a wide range of personal data (such as names, addresses, URLs, log-on passwords) on a smart chip.
-more-
• OneSmart MasterCard Retail - featuring MasterCard Open Data Storage (MODS). A platform for loyalty applications and enhanced interactions at the point of sale based on customer preferences.
• OneSmart MasterCard PayPass™ - featuring MasterCard’s PayPass contactless payment solution. A ‘tap and go’ solution that combines the chip security with the convenience and speed of contactless payment.
"The new EMV chip infrastructure is rapidly developing across the Middle East," said Joseph Khanashat, Vice President Operations & Technology, Middle East & North Africa MasterCard International.
"MasterCard customer banks can use the OneSmart packages to launch new chip-based products, which will differentiate their card programs and provide new levels of convenience and benefits to consumers. The time to start doing this is now,” he added.
MasterCard is rolling out OneSmart Clubs across the globe, and Clubs have already been established in markets such as Central and Eastern Europe, the Baltic States, Taiwan, New Zealand, Malaysia, Australia and Northern Europe.
"The OneSmart Club approach has already proved successful in many markets and we plan to use a similar concept in the GCC region," said Mr. Fikret Ates, Vice President, Product Management at MasterCard's Chip Centre of Excellence. "Banks benefit from both the shared learning in the Club’s forums, and the personalized support MasterCard is providing to individual banks for their pilots and projects. Each OneSmart Club has different regional objectives, but they all benefit from each other by the cross-fertilisation effects of ideas and experiences they generate in different parts of the world," added Mr Ates.
Mr. Denzil Lawson, Senior Vice President and General Manager, Middle East & North Africa, MasterCard International, was also present at the launch. “MasterCard continues to pioneer new innovations in the payments industry, which helps advance commerce globally. OneSmart solutions will help banks grow their business through improved customer acquisition and retention, and higher levels of card activation and usage.”

Israel to upgrade barrier security
But project sparks Palestinian concern
JERUSALEM — Israel is overhauling its separation barrier along the West Bank and Jerusalem to cut the crossing time for people and goods from hours to minutes.
Aimed at easing the burden on Palestinians and softening international criticism, it also is proving contentious by giving the barrier the feel of an international border.
The construction project of 27 terminals will cost close to $500 million, Israeli officials say, and sharply reduce tension caused by the presence of armed soldiers at the checkpoints, replacing them with civilian contractors hired by the Defense Ministry.
But for many Palestinians, the project feels like further proof of the Israeli intention to create a border, unilaterally, on occupied land, annexing territory without negotiation, undermining the viability of a future Palestinian state.
They say it is another example of Prime Minister Ariel Sharon’s preference for imposed solutions that suit Israel, like last summer’s Israeli pullout from Gaza and the barrier itself, which incorporates numerous Israeli settlements on occupied land, settlements much of the world regards as illegal.
More than 65,000 Palestinians and thousands of tons of goods cross into and out of Jerusalem through the barrier every day through a variety of checkpoints controlled by Israeli soldiers.
Palestinians with permission to enter Israel will receive plastic smart cards containing their photo, personal information and biometric identification that should enable them to move through the new terminals in 15 minutes or less, compared with what an Israeli army study found to be a current average of four hours.
Israel insists that the barrier is a security device and not a provisional border, and that it will be moved to account for Israeli court orders or a peace treaty.
The Palestinians say it separates them from their neighbors and their land, annexing large parts of the West Bank. Qalandiya and many of the other 10 Jerusalem terminals are designed to be dismantled or moved after a final peace treaty, when the problem of Jerusalem’s status and boundaries will have to be settled.
Daniel Tirza, a reserve colonel who has drawn the map for nearly every inch of the 450-mile barrier, has no doubt that it has saved hundreds of Israeli lives.
— The New York Times
United States, Jan 03, 2006 (Newsbytes via COMTEX) -- The U.S. Court of Federal Claims has reinstated On Track Innovations Ltd. (OTI) as a potential provider of contactless identification chips for the federal government's electronic passport project, according to court officials and the company.
A court clerk said Judge Charles Lettow set aside the Government Printing Office's decision to eliminate OTI from the competition to provide the radio frequency identification (RFID) devices that are to be embedded in U.S. passport covers.
The judge directed GPO to resume testing of OTI's chips at the point where the agency halted the testing.
Oded Bashan, the chairman, president and chief executive officer of Fort Lee, N.J.-based OTI, said, " We are pleased with the judge's decision. We are looking forward to continuing work with the government on this project." He added that OTI is ready to begin mass production of the RFID chips.
The claims court decision is the latest twist in the winding process of purchasing the RFID chips that will contain photographs of passport holders.
The process has been bent by objections from privacy advocates, who proved to the State Department that the original design was subject to potential eavesdropping.
The GPO, which produces the passports for State, had planned to issue a contract for the chips more than a year ago.
State and GPO are seeking more than one provider for the contactless chips, and are evaluating products from several RFID vendors.

Initial Orders for Infrastructure to Reach Approximately $500,000
FORT LEE, N.J., Jan. 10 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- On Track Innovations Ltd, (OTI) (Nasdaq: OTIV - News) a global leader in contactless microprocessor-based smart card solutions, today announced the installation of its EasyFuel(TM) wireless petroleum payment solution at gas stations in central Peru. OTI is marketing EasyFuel with Automation Service S.A.C. (ASSAC), a Peruvian company dedicated to the development of solutions for the administration of stations and the control of fleets utilizing the EasyFuel system. OTI's EasyFuel(TM) wireless petroleum payment solution will automate the distribution of both fuel and oil.
ADVERTISEMENT
After a successful pilot program, Minera Yanacocha S.R.L., the largest gold producer in South America, has signed a contract to implement the EasyFuel system on their fleet. This includes the upgrade of vehicles currently equipped with OTI's FuelMaster. The system will increase service speed at the pump, help eliminate fraud and increase the efficiencies of fleet management.
Oded Bashan, President and CEO, OTI, commented, "We are pleased to be expanding our EasyFuel program in Peru. The increasing adoption of EasyFuel validates the many benefits it provides to both petroleum vendors and fleet operators. The system is cost-effective, easy to install, and allows fleet managers to have better control of their expenses at the pump. We are happy to be working with ASSAC and look forward to further expanding the availability of EasyFuel in Peru."
Marco Moscoso General Director of ASSAC Automaton Service S.A.C., said, "We are delighted to be working with OTI, the leader in contactless card solutions. The Minera Yanacocha project is the largest and most important EasyFuel project we have signed to date in Peru and their adoption of the product demonstrates its importance to fleet operators in the region. OTI's innovative solutions designed specifically for the petroleum market permits fleet managers to utilize the latest technology to better manage their business. We look forward to leveraging this relationship and expanding the availability of OTI's EasyFuel system to additional stations and fleets throughout Peru."
The EasyFuel wireless solution represents the next generation of OTI's gasoline management system. It is a completely wireless solution for gas stations that dramatically reduces installation and maintenance costs, allowing for quick and easy deployment, with a rapid return on investment. The system is based on OTI's patented technology that allows RFID smart tags to work in both short and long-range situations.
The EasyFuel system has built-in benefits for the oil companies and commercial fleet operators. Fleet companies eliminate non-authorized fueling and receive comprehensive billing and detailed operating information. Operators can take advantage of the system's pay-at-the-pump capabilities and benefit from built-in loyalty programs. By controlling the distribution of fuel electronically, fraud is greatly reduced while significantly decreasing the total service time. The system also allows for 24-hour non-attendant sales and greater in-store purchases. Several major oil companies, including BP and Repsol, and many large commercial fleet operators have adopted OTI's solution for petroleum payment and fleet management in Africa, South America, and Europe.
