TAG Instant

Tag Instant is a fast, convenient, secure and cost-effective solution to instantaneously issue cards at Issuer’s Bank branches. Customers receive straightaway a fully personalized EMV card that they can activate and use without delay, increasing their satisfaction.
Tag Instant can personalizes contact and dual interface cards from the major payment schemes.

 

In-Branch fast and secure Card issuance

TagInstant is an innovative solution that operates independently from the data preparation service. An in-branch desktop personalisation machine is used to finalise cards that have previously been semi-personalised. The solution uses a Master Issuer Key (MIK), which is stored inside a password secured USB HSM. The MIK is used to encode the Customer name and other fields into the EMV chip.
The customer details will be securely retrieved from TAGInstant’s database and then presented to the desktop personalisation machine to finalise the card. The customer receives the fully personalised card which may be activated before leaving the branch.
