An advanced EMV-compliant card personalisation and issuing product that enables a secure, timely and cost-effective response to market demands
With ever more diverse card types available on the market, increasing volumes of card transactions and rising levels of fraudulent activity, a secure, effective and flexible card personalisation system is a necessity. In the rapidly changing market, where smartcard technology is well on the way to replacing mag-stripe cards and EMV technology is becoming standard, secure card personalisation and issuance is imperative to card lifecycle management.
TranzWare Card Factory is a refined card personalisation and issuance solution specifically designed to drive the costs of EMV card personalisation and issuance down, enabling card issuers to satisfy the demands of any market in a cost effective, efficient and secure way.
The product offers a staged approach to card personalisation and provides comprehensive support for the data preparation, card personalisation and issuing of EMV as well as magnetic stripe cards, all integrated into one expedient system. This staged approach to card personalisation and unlimited near-linear scalability allows TranzWare Card Factory to be efficiently deployed at small banks with a small scale issuance as well as at large personalisation bureaus, banks with extensive branch networks and independent organisations serving several banks practicing large-scale card personalisation and issuance.
The product supports three EMV card personalisation modes: manual, batch and mass issuance. The manual personalisation procedure is effective for the small-scale issuance of EMV cards (e.g. instant card issuance in the presence of a customer). The batch mode is better suited to the EMV card issuance that is performed on a flow basis and mass issuance mode allows automated processing of many jobs from several branches or financial institutions.
