Secure, modular and scalable card issuance solutions
Today's consumers expect fast, secure and seamlessly integrated payment cards, configured to integrate with both their physical and digital lives. What counts for the customers is the result and the user experience. They don't care about technology or the production flow. They don't have to. But you have to. Payment card issuance is complex. It requires multiple hardware solutions for physical production, security, printing and personalization, coupled with sophisticated software for managing personalized data, cryptographic keys and the overall card issuance process.

Whether you’re producing thousands of cards, or millions, we help.

Our complete portfolio of card issuance solutions covers every aspect of issuance, from card design, to data generation and validation, logistics, carrier and PIN mailer services, to smart digital solutions employed to enhance the card issuance customer experience.

From the start, all production processes focus on our top priorities – security, data protection and integrity. Our Key Management Station ensures security throughout the entire smart card personalization value chain – and compliance with PCI and international payment schemes. Every step and every tool is secured through this solution, from receiving the provider's data to the final personalization and delivery of returns or activation reports back to the issuer.
Data Generation Station
Generating the data to be personalized in a card can be complex. Our Data Generation Station is designed to make this process as flexible as possible.
Chip Personalization Station
This part of the Central Issuance Solution manages the actual production and personalization of the cards. Drawing on over 20 years of expertise in card personalization, our Universal Production Platform continues to be a state of-the-art, extremely efficient and highly secure environment for advanced data card personalization, while providing hardware independency, scalability, flexibility to support any application (payment and non-payment) and integration with machine controlling software.
PIN mailer printing station
Producing PIN information for your customers is a crucial component of the card issuance process. To prevent fraud, this sensitive information must be generated and handled securely. In addition, sensitive information needs to be distributed to customers, showing any signs of possible tamper, to reassure them that their data and their money remains safe. We provide a completely controlled environment ensuring highest security of the entire process and use of the materials.
Card Validation Station
Like every card program, every customer is unique. That’s why we provide you and your customers with powerful tools and services to define a range of choices for your card program. Your customer can choose from these and tailor them even more.
The Card Validation Station is a complete and sophisticated testing and card validity checker. Users can define and run testing scenarios to check whether cards have been personalized correctly or to validate personalized cards to ensure they meet the specifications laid out earlier in the process. The solution is easy to use to operators and flexible as new tests can get created to accommodate to specific requirements.
