The major development in card markets today is the push to replace magnetic stripe cards with smart cards. In the financial world, this development is driven primarily by the EMV mandates from MasterCard and Visa. Smart cards are also being increasingly introduced in other market sectors like government, transportation and healthcare.

ACI Smart Chip Manager for In-Branch Chip Card Issuance
The ability to instantly issue cards in branches improves customer service levels and circumvents unreliable postal services. In some countries in-branch issuance of magnetic stripe cards is the norm today; in others, issuers are examining ways of transforming traditional central issuance processes to in-branch models.
The advent of smart card technology and its associated demands on existing systems stimulate many issuers to examine ways of migrating traditional magnetic stripe issuance processes to accommodate this new card technology.
ACI Worldwide offers a comprehensive solution to migrate to smart card technology, as well as transform the personalization domain and issuance process from a centralized, batch-driven concept to a service that can be instantly performed in customer-facing environments.
