Collis announced that it has implemented a new module for French CB contact cards in the Collis EMV Personalization Validation Tool. This new module covers the Groupement des Cartes Bancaires card personalization specification. Contactless cards will be supported in the near future.

The Collis EMV Personalization Validation Tool (Collis EMV PVT) is a tool designed to check if issuers’ cards are personalized correctly and enabled issuers to check the consistency between magnetic stripe data, contact chip data, contactless chip data and embossing data.
