According to the company, the site is the first in Australasia to be certified by both payment schemes to manufacture and personalize dual-interface smart banking cards that enable both contactless and contact payment.
ABnote has selected Gemalto’s range of dual-interface chips, which comply with the latest standards specified by Visa and MasterCard, in the production of the new cards.
