DCS’ CardWizard Software Now Available in Arabic

Company also expands presence in Middle East in order to better serve banks in the region

ENGLEWOOD, Colo.—(March 30, 2009)—Dynamic Card Solutions (DCS), the leading instant card issuance, PIN selection and PIN change provider for financial institutions, today announced that the company’s flagship software, CardWizard®, is now available in Arabic – enabling rapid deployment and ease of use in regions such as the Middle East and Northern Africa.

DCS’ CardWizard is a component-based software solution that allows financial institutions to instantly issue EMV and contactless cards at the branch, eliminating the costs, risks and delays associated with central issuance and subsequent delivery of payment cards and PIN mailers. With CardWizard’s Arabic language version, banks can deploy the solution quickly without having to worry about the problems caused by software packages only available in other languages. In addition, CardWizard can also be customized to serve as an Arabic front end for other card issuance-related software applications.

Benefits include:

• Easy to use – all client screens are in Arabic and optionally in other languages, as specified by the bank.
• Rapid deployment – no language barriers means a shorter learning curve for branch employees.
• Integration – DCS can interface CardWizard with various card management systems (CMS), switches, and core banking systems to automate process flows and simplify the instant issuance process. The software also enforces security on multiple levels and ensures data protection by using industry leading encryption methods, while always presenting client screens in the CSR’s native language.

“As CardWizard continues to be adopted by banks in the GCC, DCS recognized that an Arabic language version would better serve our clients,” said Spencer Clark, director of international markets for DCS. “Innovations such as this new language capability underscore our continued commitment to customer satisfaction within the region.”

The Middle East remains an area of strategic focus for DCS, and the company has just formed a team of industry experts specifically dedicated to working with banks in the region. DCS’ new Middle East team is headed by Dave Ewald, who has over 10 years of smart card experience and over 25 years of technology expertise. His most recent position at DCS was product development manager for Chip and PIN (EMV) solutions.

“It is a privilege to work with banks in the GCC region,” said Ewald. “DCS will maintain its market leadership position in instant issuance by listening carefully to our customers’ needs and continually enhancing CardWizard. Our team is solely dedicated to the issuers in this region, and we will continue to deliver solutions tailored to serve their needs.”
