ISSUE FINANCIAL CARDS INSTANTLY
AND GROW YOUR BUSINESS
Make an immediate impact
In a productive, single-pass
operation, the Datacard®150icard
personalization system embosses
preprinted financial cards for a
wide range of instant issuance
applications. Choose from a variety
of personalization features, including:
• Embossing
• Magnetic stripe encoding
• Color topping
• Indent printing
• Contact or contactless
smart card personalization
The Datacard®150icard personalization system delivers embossed ATM, debit and
credit cards in minutes, so you can give them directly to customers. This affordable
system is ideal for banks, credit unions and retailers that want to offer new card
products, increase revenue and strengthen customer loyalty.
• Expedite card usage and reduce costs. When you instantly issue cards with the
150isystem, customers can use them immediately. This eliminates the expense
and risk of sending cards through the mail. Instant issuance also maximizes
valuable face-to-face interaction with customers, which helps build confidence
in your brand and creates unique upselling opportunities.
• Promote new products. With a new smart card coupler option, the 150isystem
can issue contact or contactless payment cards that help differentiate your
business. Growing in popularity, contactless payment cards provide exceptional
convenience and quick, easy purchasing power for customers. To support smart
card personalization and increase efficiency, the 150isystem is compatible with
Datacard®Affina®smart card issuance software.
• Protect your assets. To guard against card theft and fraud, the 150isystem
requires users to enter a password on the keypad to unlock the chassis cover.
A password from the host enables card production. In addition, all entries are
captured in an automated audit trail to protect card stock.
