Monday, February 13, 2012

Financial Software & Systems (FSS) announced a new program - Smart Start - which aims to enable U.S. card issuers to implement smart card technology into their operations in less than four months.

The Smart Start program is a full-function EMV/smart chip life cycle management system which manages the issuance and administration required for smart card deployments. Smart Start is designed to reduce the up-front investment required to launch a major pilot, while also providing functionality for debit and prepaid cards as well.

It offers U.S.-based institutions seeking to address this market with a simple and affordable solution to the growing demand. [end]
