Evolis, EFT Source partner for instant issuance

Tuesday, July 12, 2011

EFT Source, a provider of turn­key card production and management solutions, partnered with Evolis to develop Card@Once, a new product for financial institutions to easily and more affordably issue cards instantly.

Card@Once enables banks and credit unions to provide debit, pre­paid or reloadable cards to customer’s on­site within seconds. Card@Once has successfully undergone an independent, third-party Payment Card Industry Data Security Standards audit.


When a customer requests a card, the data is securely transferred from the branch location to EFT Source. The data is then processed and converted into a print file that is sent back to the branch electronically. Card@Once encodes the data and prints the card enabling the customer to walk away with a ready-to-use card.

EFT Source partnered with Evolis to develop the proprietary equipment. The Card@Once card printers have been designed based on the Evolis dual-sided color card printer, Dualys.

Additional benefits for Card@Once include key management, custom card designs, toll free technical support, 24­hour replacement, and the option to integrate with core processors or operate as a standalone solution.

The first Card@Once machines have already been delivered and are in service. [end]
