Datacard trials instant issuance program with Utah credit union

Friday, November 6, 2009

Datacard Group, a secure ID and card personalization solutions provider, is piloting an instant issuance program with the Mountain America Credit Union in Utah.

Working with Problem Solved, Datacard developed, implemented and supported instant card issuance software that is integrated with the credit union’s existing Symitar host system, and is also interfaced with Pemco, a payment solutions company, for card activation.

For card production, Mountain America utilizes the Datacard RP90i financial card printer, which offers security features that meet established specifications for the instant issuance of Visa cards. The card printer delivers full-color retransfer printing with over-the-edge coverage, enabling the production of different designs to help build member loyalty. [end] 

Visa has announced that more than 1 million EMV chip-enabled cards have been issued by U.S. financial institutions as of December 31, 2011.

Just 18 months ago there were no Visa-branded EMV chip cards issued in the U.S. according to Visa’s Stephanie Ericksen, who attributes the sudden growth to U.S. issuers accepting Visa’s EMV and mobile payments road map.
