Datacard Maxsys issuance system being used heavily in South Korea

Thursday, June 12, 2008

Datacard Group has sold its twenty-second Datacard Maxsys card issuance system in the Republic of Korea. This includes several multiple orders and repeat buyers, including BC Card, Shinhan Card, IC Korea, Hyundai Card, KB Card, Lotte Card and KBC.

The launch of the Maxsys system in South Korea also coincided with new EMV migration requirements. BC Card, a credit card issuer headquartered in Seoul, saw a significant rise in demand for these types of jobs — for which the Maxsys system is suited.

“The big advantages of the Maxsys system are high throughput, efficiency and a relatively compact footprint,” said Lee Hyun-Ho, General Manager at BC Card. [end]
