The Dual Interface module contains a chip that can operate in both contact and contactless mode, once embedded into a card and connected to an antenna. The module enables transactions either by making physical contact with a reader or using contactless technology from a distance through the connected antenna.
Dual Interface modules are today mainly used in banking applications. They have to meet the highest requirements in terms of reliability, functionality and visual appearance. Dual Interface cards are very popular as they simplify the way consumers make payments.
Smart cards are pocket-sized cards with embedded integrated circuits. They can provide personal identification, authentication, data storage and application processing.
NedCard plays a major role in the rollout of secure chip cards for the banking and payment market by manufacturing modules in Europe and Asia.
