EMV DATA PREPARATION

CARDINK

 

GET IN TOUCH →

 

CardInk securely generates data for hundreds of millions of EMV® Chip payment cards every year.

When payment cards are issued, sensitive data enabling validation of the card and transactions is added. Often, banks deliver the basic data to card personalisation bureaux, who use CardInk to enrich the data and pass it to the machines for production. 

Such data includes relevant personal details for the account holder, cryptographic keys, and the 16-digit code generated for every payment card.
