EMV personalization, or personalization of Mastercard, VISA, Discover, and Diners payment cards, is particularly important because it defines how the card will communicate with terminals, provide security challenges, and validate transactions.
AKD performs both physical and electronic personalization of EMV cards, including the printing of visual elements, encoding of chips and magnetic stripes, and implementation of all security applications.
The process is aligned with the strict certification requirements of international card organizations (EMVCo), ensuring the quality and reliability of every card issued.
Personalization is carried out on certified devices, which allow:
-
Embossing or indent printing
-
Laser engraving or graphic printing of data
-
Printing of security elements
-
Personalization of contact and contactless chips, loading of EMV applications
-
Generation and personalization of cryptographic keys
