The Commercial Bank of Ceylon PLC has commenced issuing chip-integrated Credit and Shopping Debit cards under the Visa brand, becoming the first bank in Sri Lanka to offer locally personalised chip cards.
Offering significantly enhanced security features, these chip cards can be used at points of sales in Sri Lanka and anywhere in the world for purchase of goods and services and for cash withdrawals at ATMs, the bank said.
For the issue of chip integrated cards, the bank obtained the services of two globally-renowned vendors who are world leaders in their respective spheres. The service of Oberthur Technologies was obtained for the provision of chip cards and chip card personalisation software while equipment provided by Datacard was used for card personalisation. |
