Leiden 26 Oct, 2009 - Collis is proud to announce that Oberthur has selected Collis as the Preferred Supplier for test tools in the field of EMV card personalisation validation.
Oberthur Technologies - one of the world's leading providers of security and identification based on smart card technology - has accredited Collis with the prestigious role of being the preferred solution provider for EMV card personalisation validation software. The aim is to standardise a common EMV card personalisation validation software across Oberthur's personalisation network. Collis' market leading Collis EMV Personalisation Validation Tool (PVT) and Collis Personalisation Validation for Production are examples of tools that will be implemented across Oberthur's production facilities.
The award winning Collis EMV PVT can test all interfaces of a card-under-test (Magnetic stripe, Embossing, printing, contact chip, contactless chip, NFC). These tools also offer full support for VISA, MasterCard, JCB, American Express, as well as support for domestic brands such as GIE CB (which includes test results in French).
Berend van Geffen, Vice President Products Division comments: "Personalisation Validation has always been a key focus within Collis. Through our global customers and consulting projects we are always aware of the challenges faced when issuing error-free cards. We work with Visa, MasterCard, JCB and many domestic brands intensively. However our vision and ambition regarding Personalisation Validation goes beyond this, which is visible in our tools. We feel privileged to work with Oberthur in helping them continue their excellent global reputation. Collis is committed to deliver the best-in-class test tools, now and in the future!"
