SABB

SABB needed an EMV card issuance solution that could interface to both its Debit and Credit Card systems and which could support EMV Chip standards as determined by the local regulator, as well as Credit Card Associations such as VISA and MasterCard. Bell ID® EMV Token Manager has enabled SABB to gain a maximum return on investment through efficient and reliable EMV data preparation, central and instant issuance of chip cards and the ability to expand with features such as EMV scripting and support for mobile payments using NFC technology.

In October 2009, SABB deployed Bell ID® EMV Token Manager to manage central issuance operations at its headquarters in Riyadh. Bell ID® EMV Token Manager’s Instant Issuer was subsequently added, and rolled out in 2010 to all SABB branches throughout the Kingdom, enabling these locations to directly issue EMV debit cards to customers while at the branch.
