Home Products TranzWare Card Factory

With ever more diverse card types available on the market, increasing volume of transactions made by their means and development of new technological standards (namely EMV (Europay, MasterCard and Visa)), compliant, effective and flexible card personalisation system is a must. However, there is a firm belief that making personalisation systems EMV-compliant requires heavy investments on the issuers’ side.

TranzWare Card Factory is a refined card personalisation and issuing product specifically designed to drive the costs of EMV card personalisation and issuance down, thus, helping card issuers to operate in a cost-effective, efficient and secure way.

The product offers a staged approach to card personalisation and provides comprehensive support for data preparation, card personalisation and issuing of EMV as well as magnetic stripe cards, all integrated into one expedient system. The staged approach to card personalisation and also unlimited near-linear scalability allows TranzWare Card Factory to be efficiently deployed at small banks with a small scale issuance as well as at personalisation bureaus, multi-branch banks and independent organisations serving several banks practicing large-scale card personalisation and issuance. TranzWare Card Factory also offers the possibility of setting up a personalisation centre with distributed workstations providing encrypted data exchange between them.

Overall, the product offers flexible customisation capabilities, requires minimum setup time and ensures low setup and running costs. To add flexibility to security features, TranzWare Card Factory is capable of working with card personalisation equipment, EMV cards and HSMs supplied by all major manufacturers.

Moreover, 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. In case of the latter two modes, embossing equipment and EMV-compliant HSM units are introduced into the process in order to raise a personalisation station throughput.

As a necessary component of bank card management, TranzWare Card Factory can be easily integrated with TranzWare CMS and also with other third-party components and systems in place. In addition, personalisation of various value-added applications (loyalty programmes, ID cards, library cards, travel passes, etc.) can be integrated into the general card personalisation and issuance process.
