Taking Some Of The Hassle Out Of EMV

摘要

For Rabobank, one of the largest issuers in the Netherlands, the decision to move to a new common payment application for its chip-based credit and debit cards will not be a difficult one, says Evert Fekkes, head of payment strategy. The bank issues millions of payment cards and wants to avoid the extra time and expense of purchasing and personalizing one set of cards for its Visa-branded products and another for those bearing the MasterCard mark. "We need to be able to buy chips on the open market, regardless of the brand we're using and regardless of the type of payment instrument we want to issue," he says.
