Card@Once®: Instant issuance of payment cards made easy

Over the past decade, financial institutions have devoted a great deal of resources into delivering personalized cards at the branch level to their customers, on demand and instantly. Yet, instant card issuance requires an end-to-end solution compliant with payment security standards and simple to use for frontline branch personnel. This is the rationale for Card@Once®, a service poised to set a new standard.

“We’ve been working for years on Card@Once® as there were many technologies and services that needed to come in place to bring us to a point where we could deliver the right instant card issuance solution” , explains Bill Dinker, President, EFT Source, Inc.

When a customer requests a card, all personal data is encrypted and transferred from the branch location to EFT Source via the branch network access to the Internet. This data is then processed and converted into a print file that is sent back to the Card@Once® printer located in the branch. The result is a secure, ready-to-use, personalized card.

From a security standpoint, EFT Source’s Card@Once® solution meets the stringent security regulations and is Payment Card Industry Data Security Standards (PCI DSS) certified, which guarantees the privacy of card holder and payment data.

 

Dualys : la fiabilité au service des cartes de paiement

Since reliability is critical to business continuity, EFT Source designed Card@Once® by leveraging a printer that has been rated as the topmost in the industry: Dualys , the dual-sided card printer of Evolis.

Card@Once® has very stringent security prerequisites and Dualys had to be customized to support all of them, such as adding a locking system. To securely link any branch office to EFT Sources’ facilities, Evolis embedded a thin Linux-based computer device in Dualys. This device connects back to EFT Source’s servers through an encrypted IP VPN tunnel. The printer is remotely operated by EFT Source and requires no software to be installed on a branch desktop, which maximizes security and ease of use.

Evolis is making rapid strides in the payment industry

Card@Once® is the latest Evolis success in the payment industry worldwide. The company has successfully supported the requirements of Tier-1 financial institutions, willing to earn the benefits of flexible and instant issuance. Evolis also supports another key trend in the payment industry, i.e. the personalization of multifeature cards that enable a variety of payment methods, including RFID and NFC mobile transactions, with Evolis offering the right technologies to materialize such cards in a simple and cost effective way.
