ENGLEWOOD, Colo.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Dynamic Card Solutions (DCS), the leading provider of instant issuance and PIN selection solutions for banks, credit unions and retailers that issue magnetic stripe, EMV and contactless cards, today announced that BankAtlantic, one of the largest financial institutions headquartered in Florida, has upgraded their instant card issuance technology to offer unembossed debit cards at 99 of its branch locations.
“Our instant issue program has been a huge success over the years, and converting to unembossed cards enables us to offer an even higher level of customer service as well as streamline our branch issuance process.”
BankAtlantic first started working with DCS in 2006 to implement an instant issue program for their MasterCard® debit card program using embossed technology. Seeking to provide further convenience to its customers with unembossed cards, BankAtlantic recently converted to DCS’ FCP 20/20 flat card printers and, with the help of DCS’ CardWizard instant issue software, now issues personalized unembossed debit cards to new and existing customers within a matter of minutes.
By utilizing the FCP 20/20 flat card printers, BankAtlantic now has the ability to offer and produce from “branded white stock” a variety of images that cardholders can select for their card background, including special local images specific to their regions in Miami, Ft. Lauderdale, Palm Beach and Tampa. After selecting a background image, DCS' CardWizard software transfers all personalization data fully encrypted to the FCP 20/20 printer. The unembossed debit card is then quickly and securely issued with high-definition printing onto both sides of the branded white stock.
“BankAtlantic prides itself in offering superior customer service,” said Tom Triozzi, senior vice president, director of marketing for BankAtlantic. “Our instant issue program has been a huge success over the years, and converting to unembossed cards enables us to offer an even higher level of customer service as well as streamline our branch issuance process.”
Instant issuance of personalized unembossed cards has proven to be a value-add service and competitive differentiator to financial institutions. The issuing of unembossed cards from a single card stock greatly improves the operational process of shipping, securing and end of day balancing. It also enables card background choices, so cards can become top-of-wallet, thus increasing usage and interchange revenue.
