The main objective of these tests is to guarantee swift and secure migration of its clients' existing cards to smart cards and to ensure that AFS provides the necessary support for banks conducting the migration.
Converting from Magnetic-stripe to EMV standards is a very long and complex process that required heavy technical and financial investments. "Banks can now relay on AFS to issue EMV compliant cards without the complicated and costly investment required for an in-house solution. Being certified as EMV third party processor and card personalization centre for both Visa and MasterCard, AFS can ensure a swift and secure migration of the Bank's existing portfolio to smart cards" commented Rasool Hujair, CEO, AFS.
"In complying with EMV specifications, AFS continues the trend it started since its inception, applying state-of-the-art technology in all aspects of its services portfolio. We are committed to providing our clients with world-class integrated outsourcing services. This series of successful pilot tests for EMV cards is a clear illustration of our determination to live up to our clients' needs and expectations" added Mr. Hujair.
