Medellín Marketing Firm Ruta Amigo to Roll Out Rewards Program in Colombia Using Ipsidy Platform

Medellín-based marketing firm Ruta Amigo S.A.S. has partnered with transaction processing company Ipsidy Inc. to launch a new loyalty rewards program in the South American nation.

Ruta Amigo will be tapping into the Long Beach, New York-based company’s “Digital Issuance Platform” of vendors, consumers, and other users to roll out its pre-paid loyalty cards that can be used for payments in various locations across the country or digitally. The company boasts of its platform’s identification technology, including biometric security embedded into payment options such as a mobile wallet, among other features.

Using the network of Ipsidy, which counts MultiPay as a subsidiary in Colombia, will allow Ruta Amigo to facilitate a rewards program that will involve “a number of the leading consumer brands” across the country, according to the marketing firm.
