Data Preparation is carried out in a highly secure environment and includes the processing, cryptographic signing, and adaptation of data according to the requirements of card schemes and EMVCo standards, ensuring accurate, fast, and standardized card personalization with complete control over the integrity and security of every step.
Data Preparation (DP) represents one of the most critical and complex processes in the entire payment card issuance cycle. This is the phase in which card data is prepared, structured, cryptographically protected, and formatted in accordance with the technical requirements of card schemes and the security standards applicable to the production and personalization of payment cards.
Data Preparation (DP) involves a range of technological activities, including the collection, validation, and processing of account data, creation of the EMV profile, cryptographic preparation of data, preparation of PIN data, and generation of personalization files.
This process forms the foundation for every successful transaction and the compatibility of the card with all global payment terminals.
