DCS Recognized by BankNews

ENGLEWOOD, Colo.—(Dec. 08, 2008)—Dynamic Card Solutions (DCS), the leading instant card issuance and PIN selection provider for financial institutions, today announced that BankNews has awarded DCS’ CardWizard FCP 20/20 flat card printer an Honorable Mention for the 2008 Innovation Solutions Award in the category of architectural/equipment innovation.

BankNews Innovative Solutions Awards are presented each year to companies that have helped community banks improve their ability to better serve their customers.  The award honors those companies that have introduced or significantly enhanced the most creative and effective product in the market. 

DCS’ FCP 20/20 was awarded an honorable mention because of its technology innovation in instant card issuance. The FCP 20/20 enables financial institutions to fully personalize and print a full range of debit, credit and prepaid cards using thermal, unembossed printing from a single stock of association-branded blank cards. Coupled with DCS’ CardWizard® instant issue software, complete encoding and printing is immediately incorporated on the plastic card at the branch and is delivered to the customer at the time of their visit. 

Additional advantages of the CardWizard FCP 20/20 include:

• On-demand printing increases customer satisfaction and retention — complete card personalization including background images, cardholder data and security code.
• Higher interchange revenue realized because of increased card activation and usage levels.
• Lost/stolen cards can be replaced quickly and affordably, offering customers enhanced security.
• The ability to educate customers on the security of using a debit card versus writing a check, thus reducing check volumes/costs.
• Bank branches only need to secure and balance a single card stock – thus reducing inventory of pre-printed card stock, aiding in end-of-day balancing processes for branch personnel, and streamlining the issuance process.

Based on the major successes of DCS’ initial flat card pilot programs utilizing the FCP 20/20, as well as the continued trend of financial institutions implementing instant issuance technology, DCS has received enthusiastic acceptance of the unembossed flat card printer from the financial community. To date, DCS has already received orders for approximately 1,300 new FCP 20/20 printers.
