Card issuance services

In the current transformation of the payment and banking industry the payment card—whether digital or physical, made of metal or recycled plastic—turns out to be the strongest link to the end customer, for traditional banks as well as for FinTechs. At IDEMIA, we strive to strengthen this link with a wide range of card issuance services and card personalization services.

We are the only global player in the market to master the complete payment card design and card issuance process—from the artwork creation to card personalization and delivery to the cardholder’s doorstep. With over 30+ service centers and more than 800 million payment cards personalized per year in 180+ countries, we deliver added-value card issuance services for issuers with clear benefits for the end users.

The level of card personalization is such that cardholders feel their card is designed just for them.
