Gemalto Interested in Developing Chip Cards in Indonesia
TEMPO Interactive, Jakarta:Gemalto, a company dealing in digital security solutions, yesterday opened a centre for personalized sales in the Indonesian market, located in Pancoran, South Jakarta.
The new facility is expected to support Gemalto in providing card production services to provide financial institutions with an end-to-end system. The company also wants to develop the use of chip technology-based cards (EMV) in Indonesia.
Gemalto has been operating in Indonesia for the past 20 years. The company has collaborated with around 75 percent of banks in Indonesia. "Indonesia is a very good potential market," Suzanne Tong-Li, Gemalto’s Asia Pacific Secure Transaction Senior VP, said yesterday in Jakarta.
Meanhwile, Philippe Cambriel, Gemalto Security Transaction executive vice president, said the personalized facility will provide security for the customers. “Customers’ information will be protected,” he said.
Another important aspect that Gemalto wants to manage in Indonesia through the personalized centre is the EMV migration program, which is a chip-based card. Many Indonesian financial institutions still use magnetic cards.
According to Suzanne, with the chip card, financial institutions can develop various payment applications, such as e-money and online banking. "This new method can increase revenue,” she said, adding, “that is what we want to achieve with the personalized centre,” she said.
