Chip programmes

As the world moves inexorably to chip technology, TSYS Card Tech can offer the migration path to suit your plans and your budget. From off-line pre-authorised cards, to full M/Chip and VSDC issuing and acquiring and multiple applications, we work with you to make the most of the opportunities offered by smart card technology and help you ensure that the products you choose are the right ones for your customers.

TSYS Card Tech has an excellent record in chip technologies.

We implemented the first full VSDC programme in the Middle East, and our consultants regularly attend industry conferences and seminars to consolidate their knowledge. They are chip experts: they understand how to make the most of the technology and prepare our clients’ businesses for the multi-application chip programmes they will need in the future.

The move to EMV smart cards in the bankcard industry offers many commercial benefits, including:
 

	increased card usage and credit lines without additional exposure or bad debts
	reduced fraud charges
	improved CRM and credit management to keep existing customers and attract new ones
	readiness to use many chip applications and potentially add revenue streams

As of January 2005, all European Visa members that had not implemented a chip infrastructure became financially liable for fraud that could have been prevented had EMV processing standards been in place.

TSYS Card Tech's systems are EMV chip-ready and we have the experience to help you build a strategy to make the most of your investment in smart cards.
