Banks are actively striving to enhance customer experiences at branches worldwide while simultaneously reducing operational costs. A significant transformation involves the in-branch printing of new bank cards, including both ATM and credit cards.

The adoption of local and on-demand production of bank cards brings substantial advantages. Instant issuance services ensure that customers promptly receive their cards without the delay of waiting for them to be mailed from a distant production facility. This enables customers to begin using their cards immediately, while also allowing banks to minimize reliance on extensive production machinery and costly secure production facilities.

To facilitate the local printing and encoding of bank cards, Visa and MasterCard have established specifications to ensure the security of card storage and production. These stringent standards extend to the equipment used in card production, requiring features like physical and electronic locks as minimum prerequisites for card printers operating in such environments.

IDP’s SMART-70 and SMART-51 Series are designed to meet these exacting standards. These solutions offer a range of features appreciated by current banking customers, including large input hoppers, secured card storage, in-line encoding, and a variety of ribbon options.
