金普斯率先向中国工商银行提供EMV卡

中国工商银行首先在中国部署EMV信用卡

(2005年12月20日)世界领先的智能卡解决方案供应商金普斯公司(Euronext: LU0121706294 – GEM和NASDAQ: GEMP)宣布,公司已率先向中国工商银行(ICBC)提供了可实现高度安全交易的EMV信用卡。这批信用卡由金普斯设在珠海的本地合资公司金邦达(Gemplus Goldpac)制造生产。金邦达目前业已拥有万事达国际卡(MasterCard International)、维萨卡(VISA)、大莱卡(DINER)和中国银联(China UnionPay)等机构和组织的EMV认证。

中国工商银行EMV项目负责人表示:“作为中国最大的银行,我们需要在全国范围内进行针对EMV的迁移,这对我们来说很重要。我们当时寻找的是一家交货及时并能够在整个过程中为我们提供支持的、可靠的合作伙伴。金普斯为我们率先部署这一解决方案提供了所需的服务和技术。”

这批信用卡的技术基于金普斯最顶级的Java卡——GemXpresso Pro,而且与万事达卡的最新规范MCHIP/4.0相兼容。利用卡上的动态数据鉴定(DDA)功能,该信用卡为实现安全支付交易提供了最先进的安全保障。

金普斯大中华区总裁童雪君女士表示:“中国工商银行是亚洲最大的银行之一,也是在中国率先部署EMV的银行。我们的金邦达合资公司已经成功地为工行提供了数年的服务,此次金普斯亦很荣幸能够支持工行的首次EMV部署。”
