Gemalto, a provider of digital security services, has been commissioned to carry out the migration to microprocessor Europay, MasterCard, Visa credit cards for the Royal Bank of Scotland across three markets in Asia: Indonesia, Taiwan and India.
The first project commenced in October 2008 in Indonesia, with projects in Taiwan and India to follow and involved the conversion of the Royal Bank of Scotland’s (RBS’s) traditional magnetic stripe cards to Europay, MasterCard, Visa (EMV) cards.
Gemalto said that it provides RBS with a complete range of products and services including personalisation and project management.
Dessy Masri, head of consumer finance for RBS Indonesia, said: We are extremely pleased that our re-carding process in Indonesia took a much shorter time than expected, so we are able to start the rollout of the cards to our customers sooner, giving them more convenience and security. And this was only possible with the service of Gemalto as the industry leader in EMV migration solutions and the company’s extensive experience in Indonesia, as well as the region.
Tan Lee, president of Gemalto Asia, added: We are extremely pleased to be able to work with RBS who have placed their trust in us to manage the migration project across their key markets. Our experience in migration projects all over the world allowed us to leverage our unique EMV expertise and geographical presence to lead this project successfully.
