Addition of Payments Certification to CSCIP Training Program

PRINCETON JUNCTION, NJ--(Marketwire - Apr 10, 2012) - Industry professionals interested in supporting the U.S. move to EMV and NFC contactless mobile technologies can now earn the first certification dedicated to smart card-based payments -- the Smart Card Alliance Certified Smart Card Industry Professional/Payments (CSCIP/P) credential. The Alliance will hold its first instructor-led training course and exam for CSCIP/P in May at the NFC Solutions Summit 2012.

"The CSCIP/P training materials and exam fill a noticeable gap in education and information around the EMV migration and NFC and mobile payments adoption that have already begun in the United States," said Randy Vanderhoof, executive director of the Smart Card Alliance. "We have expanded our smart card training to include written documentation and classroom instruction on the role smart cards play in the rapidly changing financial payments, transportation payments, and mobile payments industries. This provides payments industry professionals a certification that demonstrates they have a proficiency in the latest technology and usage models for chip-enabled payments."

Part of the Alliance's Leadership, Education and Advancement Program (LEAP), CSCIP/P is an extension of the Certified Smart Card Industry Professional (CSCIP) designation. The body of industry knowledge covered by the CSCIP/P certification includes the same fundamentals as the CSCIP certification, and adds in-depth content on EMV migration, mobile and NFC contactless payments, secure remote transactions and smart card use in both card- and account-based transit payment systems.

Leading smart card industry professionals have developed the series of educational modules forming the CSCIP/P certification body of knowledge. These educational modules prepare applicants for the CSCIP/P exam administered by the Smart Card Alliance. The CSCIP/P certification exam will cover:

• Smart Card Fundamentals
• Smart Card Security Principles
• Smart Card Application and Data Management
• Smart Card Usage Models - Mobile and NFC
• Smart Card Usage Models - Payments and Financial Transactions
• Technology Comparison and Implementation Considerations

Information about the CSCIP/P certification is now available on the Smart Card Alliance website. The first instructor-led training course will be held at the NFC Solutions Summit on Monday, May 21^st prior to the CSCIP/P exam on Wednesday, May 23^rd. The Summit, held in partnership with the NFC Forum, will take place May 22 - 24, 2012 at the Hyatt Regency San Francisco Airport Hotel in Burlingame, California.

First Data Releases March 2012 SpendTrend®

Card Spending Growth Stable in March; Spring Promotional Activity, Warm Weather Encouraged Discretionary Spend

ATLANTA--(BUSINESS WIRE)--First Data Corporation, a global leader in electronic commerce and payment processing, today released its First Data SpendTrend^® analysis for the full month of March 2012 compared to March 2011. SpendTrend tracks same-store consumer spending by credit, signature debit, PIN debit, EBT cards and checks at U.S. merchant locations.

“The mild weather across much of the nation in March encouraged retailers to promote sales of spring merchandise, providing an additional catalyst to customer traffic”

Year-over-year dollar volume growth was 8.7% in March, compared to February’s 8.9% growth. Mild temperatures and early Easter holiday spending drove retail foot traffic despite higher gasoline prices.

“The mild weather across much of the nation in March encouraged retailers to promote sales of spring merchandise, providing an additional catalyst to customer traffic,” said Silvio Tavares, SVP and division manager of First Data Global Information and Analytics Solutions, which publishes SpendTrend.

In March, PIN debit surged to yearly highs in dollar volume and transaction growth. As a higher percentage of taxpayers elected to have their tax refunds electronically deposited into their bank accounts this year, it appears they made more discretionary purchases with PIN debit cards instead of credit cards.

March Dollar Volume Growth		CHANGE
Credit		+5.7%
Signature Debit		+8.4%
PIN Debit		+14.6%
Check		-2.6%
Note: All transactions are same-store growth.

First-to-market chip-based cards offer global convenience and security

JACKSONVILLE, Fla.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--FIS™ (NYSE:FIS), the world’s largest provider of banking and payments technology, today announced its launch of the FIS Travel EMV^® Card. The EMV chip card is the first-of-its-kind offering, providing consumers with the latest in secure payments technology in a convenient prepaid card.

“EMV chip technology is at the forefront of secure card-based transactions”

Focusing on the increasing demand for secure, convenient methods of payment for consumers, FIS is launching a new prepaid card targeted specifically to consumers who travel abroad. The FIS Travel EMV Card combines the latest in EMV chip technology and a traditional magnetic stripe, providing financial institutions with an instant-issue, low-cost product to offer to consumers. An alternative to traveling with cash, credit cards or traditional traveler’s checks, the cards are safe, easy to use and accepted worldwide.

The FIS Travel EMV Card will simplify travel for U.S. consumers where EMV chip technology is used for card-based transactions. U.S.-issued credit and debit cards use magnetic stripe technology, which is not widely accepted abroad. The EMV chip-based cards have been adopted globally for their increased level of security. U.S. issuers are expected to move toward EMV cards in the coming years. The FIS Travel EMV Card provides financial institutions the ability to offer this preferred card immediately, enabling them to stay ahead of the competition.

“EMV chip technology is at the forefront of secure card-based transactions,” said Brad Potter, senior vice president, FIS EFT Solutions. “While the payments industry continues to prepare for EMV technology over the next few years, cardholders who wish to travel abroad have an immediate need for EMV payment cards. The new FIS Travel EMV Card enables any financial institution in the U.S. to serve the needs of their customers quickly and for an extremely low cost.”
