EMV Smart Card & Application Management



Bell ID® EMV Token Manager provides financial institutions complex lifecycle management capabilities for issued smart cards and NFC mobile phones along with multi-applications. Whether you are in the early stages of planning your migration path from magnetic stripe to EMV or your EMV deployment is already firmly established, there are many commercial benefits to be gained by selecting or switching to Bell ID® EMV Token Manager as your complete token management solution.

Positioned at the core of an EMV implementation, Bell ID® EMV Token Manager manages the entire lifecycle of an EMV token, its associated applications and related cryptographic keys. It enables issuers to load and delete applications, change risk parameters and update card/token behaviour - even after tokens have been issued. The platform’s true strength lies within highly complex infrastructures where different, multi-million tokens with different (multi-) applications need to be managed – each with their own lifecycle.
