NEW ORLEANS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--iCache Inc, the premier global technology leader in the mobile payments industry, is thrilled to announce Geode, the secure digital wallet for iPhone, won first place in two categories at the CTIA E-Tech Awards: Mobile Application in Mobile Commerce, Shopping and Rewards and Mobile CE Accessories. Winners were chosen based on innovation, functionality, technological importance/impact, implementation and overall “wow” factor.
"iCache is deeply honored to be recognized in this exemplary manner by such a well-respected organization as CTIA,” stated Jon Ramaci, CEO, iCache Inc. “As CEO, I am thankful to have such a wonderful team and set of partners who are enabling us to make convenient and secure mobile payments a reality for all consumers in the next 30 days. Life is Good."
The Geode system features an app and an iPhone case with a fingerprint scanner, e-ink display and patented rewriteable GeoCard. The Geode consolidates the user’s credit, debit and loyalty cards into one simple, secure, universally accepted solution eliminating the need for bulky wallets. The Geode app is secured by a biometric reader that can only be accessed by the user’s fingerprint, decreasing the chances for credit card fraud. Additionally, Geode is accepted everywhere and allows transaction processes to remain the same – meaning no new infrastructure is required and retailers do not need to purchase new equipment.
“It's great to bring the physical and virtual worlds together for mPayments through the Geode,” stated Erik Ross, CSO, iCache Inc.
iCache’s Geode will be available June 2012.
