In-branch smart card issuance
Traditionally cards are personalised in batches,
in a central and well-secured environment; however, it would be beneficial
in certain circumstances if this personalisation step could be carried
out locally at the different branches of a bank or government institution.
For example, it would enable a bank to re-issue a card for a customer
on-demand: the customer enters the bank’s branch, reports problems
with his current card, enters his preferred PIN, and leaves the branch
with a new, fully functional card within 10 minutes. In this white paper
you will find details on how in-branch card issuance can bring substantial
time,
cost
and ease of use benefits..
