Personalisation validation tools for plastic cards

With VISA being one of the biggest plastic card issuers in the world, production of their cards (and everyone else's of course!) needs to be as accurate as is functually possible.

Validation systems have been borne to ensure plastic card issuers have control over the quality and accuracy of the encoded plastic cards they issue.

These systems enable quick and easy and accurate verification of the chip, magnetic stripe and embossed data which is personalised on any plastic payment smart card.

They have a powerful diagnostic capability in problem solving and data analysis. If required, tests for additional applications can be developed.

The manufacturers of these powerful systems allow website downloads to enable users to keep fully up to date with changing compliance requirements.

An EMV validation test script suite is usually included as standard within these applications and users can easily and rapidly develop test scripts for a wide variety of contact and contactless plastic chip card applications
