Visa Europe has made an investment in authentication company, Emue Technologies.

Emue has been working with Visa Europe over the past 18 months to develop the Visa CodeSure solution which provides authentication and transaction security through a unique payment card with an embedded display, microprocessor and numeric keypad.

Multiple banks are piloting Visa CodeSure in the UK, Switzerland, Italy and Israel. Emue, which also counts the Australian partnership of Deloitte Touche Tohmatsu as a cornerstone investor, has been fine tuning its anti-fraud enabled payment card with Visa in Europe during the past 12 months. [end]
