Bell ID Signs With Top 10 North American Bank

21 October 2008 (Rotterdam, The Netherlands) - Today Bell ID announced that it has contracted with one of the top 10 banks in North America for the provision of its ANDiS4EMV smart card and application management system.

Bell ID will implement and support its ANDiS solution, enabling the bank to migrate its base of approximately 20 million credit and debit cards from magnetic stripe to EMV chip cards. The ANDiS4EMV solution is a powerful life cycle management tool, enabling the bank to track every step in the life of the EMV cards and the keys, certificates and applications stored in the chip.

ANDIS4EMV was chosen due to its proven capability of managing such significant volumes of multi application smart cards. Another contributing factor in the selection of ANDiS by the bank is the flexibility that the system offers, ensuring that it can be swiftly and seamlessly integrated into the bank's existing infrastructure with a minimum of customisation and implementation effort. Furthermore, the versatility of the system means that the time to market for future products and applications will be greatly reduced.

Hugo Crawford, Sales Manager - Americas commented, "Bell ID is making significant progress in the Americas and we are very pleased to be working with such a large and prestigious bank. As migration to EMV continues to advance throughout the Americas, Bell ID is looking forward to pursuing further opportunities and growing its business in this important region."
