MINNEAPOLIS - Oct. 20, 2020 - PRLog -- Customer Profile
The bank was established in June 2001 and has risen to be one of the largest banks in Poland providing financial services to both corporate and personal customers. The bank offers its services via a network of over 500 branches as well as via the use of over 1000 of its own ATMs.

The Challenge
We wanted to implement an EMV system of hardware and software that could embrace their anticipated customer-base growth and accommodate any future chip card specification changes.

They were also under immense pressure to implement the solution quickly and efficiently while delivering a cost-effective solution that offered them the quality and reliability they required So, the search for the complete EMV solution was on.

The NBS Technology Solution
NBS Technologies proposed the installation of its scalable and cross platform EMV software solution, Xpressi™.  Xpressi is NBS' flagship EMV software suite that provides a modular approach to central card issuance environments delivering the core capabilities required to issue smart cards.

The installation is a full NBS system comprising of Horizon™ Evolution high-volume smart card personalization machine, SmartSys™ machine control software, and Xpressi™ EMV software. "We chose Xpressi primarily because of its scalability and ease-of-use.

We had a very tight timeline to implement EMV and the user-friendliness and ease of implementation of UbiQ PersoMaster Software enabled us to achieve it - the exceptionally high level of technical assistance from the UbiQ Software Technical Group contributed greatly to this project's success." said Kazmierski Krzysztof, Manager of Card Systems at BZWBK. "UbiQPersoMaster Software is extremely flexible and gives us the opportunity to produce cards with a single machine/software - it truly is a complete system. And together with the SafeNet HSM's, it was clearly the most cost effective." The EMV software installation project at BZWBK began 2005 where UbiQPersoMaster software was installed within a few weeks and the first cards were personalised for Visa® and MasterCard® certification.

BZWBK is currently using more than 4 different card manufacturers' equipment, to personalize more than 79 different card types for different customers. BZWBK considers this EMV migration investment a valuable one as their production centre now has the ability to personalize EMV contactless cards and is considered one of the most efficient in the personalization of bankcards in Poland.
