Gemalto is going to inaugurate its first personalisation centre in Indonesia before the end of the year. The new facility is expected to enable Gemalto to locally support financial institutions in their EMV migration. Gemalto will act as an end-to-end service provider, from card manufacturing through to fulfillment. Value-added services include inventory management and express card personalisation with same day shipment. Reportedly, the personalisation center achieved MasterCard and Visa certifications in less than six months.

Gemalto has said that it would utilise its global infrastructure, common to all Gemalto personalisation centers worldwide, to provide local banks with a one-stop shop for their EMV migration program. The facility is ideally suited to meet further market requirements by developing applications for mobile contactless payment and online banking.

Tan Teck Lee, president of Gemalto Asia, said: “We are dedicated to providing more secure and more convenient financial payment solutions to our customers in Indonesia and the region. This new facility will also allow us to assist in the deployment of advanced capabilities such as secure online banking and mobile NFC services for instance.”
