Install the free MC Wallet app from the App Store or Google Play. Available for Android 5.0+ and iPhone XS+ with NFC.
Scan or enter your Magical Character card details. Your card is instantly tokenized — your real card number is never stored on the device.
Each payment is verified with Face ID, fingerprint, or PIN — adding a layer of security no physical card can match.
Hold your phone 4cm from any NFC terminal. Payment completes in under 0.4 seconds — faster than swiping a physical card.
Built with the same security and speed as enterprise payment infrastructure — in your pocket
Your real card number (FPAN) is replaced with a unique Device Primary Account Number (DPAN) stored securely on your phone. Each transaction uses a one-time EMV cryptogram — making interception worthless.
Face ID, Touch ID, or Android fingerprint authentication is required before every payment. Even if your phone is stolen, no payment can be made without your biometrics.
Host Card Emulation stores encrypted token data locally. After initial setup, payments work offline — no cellular or Wi-Fi required at the point of sale. Your commute never breaks payments.
Store up to 10 Magical Character cards in your wallet. Switch your default payment card with a single tap — no need to carry multiple physical cards.
Real-time push notifications for every transaction — amount, merchant, time, and location. Spot suspicious activity in seconds and freeze your card directly from the notification.
Works at all 100+ million NFC-enabled terminals worldwide. Fully compliant with ISO/IEC 14443 and the EMV Contactless specification — accepted wherever physical contactless cards work.
NFC phone payment relies on Host Card Emulation and cloud tokenization — here's exactly what happens in 0.4 seconds
Terminal powers NFC chip · Biometric check triggered
OS releases DPAN token to HCE layer
AES-256 one-time transaction code signed locally
DPAN + cryptogram transmitted at 13.56 MHz · 4cm range
TSP detokenizes DPAN → FPAN · Bank approves in <270ms
Same protocol as every global contactless card. Full Type A and Type B support at 13.56 MHz operating frequency.
Android 4.4+ and iOS 13+ allow your phone's OS to emulate a contactless smart card via software — no physical Secure Element needed.
Identical authentication flow to physical EMV cards. Every tap generates a unique Application Cryptogram — protecting against replay attacks.
Magical Character's TSP maps DPAN back to your FPAN during authorization. Your real account number never leaves our secure vault.
A stolen physical card can be used immediately. A stolen phone requires your face, fingerprint, or PIN — and can be remotely disabled in seconds.
