MasterCard Signs Hologram Pact

American Banknote Corp., New York, announced that its subsidiary, American Bank Note Holographics, has signed a new five-year contract to supply credit card holograms to MasterCard International members.

MasterCard said last week that it would utilize a new three-dimensional hologram aimed at combating increasingly sophisticated counterfeiting.

The holographics subsidiary has been producing holograms for MasterCard since 1984. Its holograms have also appeared on Visa, Discover, and Europay cards.
