CPI Card Group Announces Visa® Certification for 12-Year EMV Chip Cards

“Payment card issuers and their technology partners invest heavily in their EMV-enablement platforms,” said Steve Montross, president and CEO of CPI Card Group. “Each time a chip expires, another investment is required. CPI is pleased to be a first mover in earning certification for longer-life chip cards.”

The comprehensive Visa product line includes cards meeting a variety of authentication needs, such as online only cards, dynamic data authentication (DDA), and dual-interface DDA/CDA chip cards.

The cards capitalize on CPI’s ability to adopt the newest technologies by sourcing EMV chips from a large number of suppliers while not being bound by proprietary chip operating systems and payment applets. CPI provides contact and dual-interface EMV solutions for debit, credit, and prepaid running on Java Card, MULTOS or Native operating systems.
