Smart Chip Manager will enable ARB to issue debit cards that support secure international EMV payments as well as the smart card-enabled domestic SPAN2 payments framework.
ARB will be the first bank in the region to instantly issue smart cards using the in-branch issuance solution offered by Smart Chip Manager. Soon, ARB’s customers will be able to pick up their cards at any branch instantaneously.
Suliman Al Obaid, general manager of the IT and shared services group at ARB, said, ACI’s Smart Chip Manager software ticked all the boxes we needed it to, from instantly issuing EMV cards to providing an integrated risk management environment. We now feel confident we have a robust and future-proof system.
