NBS unveils new EMV software

Monday, June 9, 2008

NBS has announced its new remote/branch issuance software Xpressi. The software package enables remote/branch issuance of EMV compliant cards.

Developed by NBS’ software division, UbiQ, Xpressi is a way to ensure remote/branch issuance of secure, EMV contact or contactless cards. The primary driving force behind EMV migration was the elimination of credit/debit card fraud. The EMV standards address the fraud issue, but the dilemma had been issuing cards to customer in a timely manner. Xpressi software along with card printers from NBS delivers compliant cards at the branch level - security centrally managed and cards locally produced. [end]
