TTi Smartcard Products Overview

 

Innovation and speed to market through partnership

TTi Card Technology was formed to exploit an opportunity identified in the market, for a fresh and innovative approach in the banking and financial services sector for bank card solutions.

The old supply chain dynamics was and still is heavily reliant upon and controlled by the card manufactures for Bank Card solutions. Solutions were and remain all too proprietary and lack in flexibility, innovation and speed to market.

The speed of change, demanded in the highly competitive Bank Card market, is difficult for one company to manage. Different applications will be needed to deliver the wide scope of future business requirement for demanding customers.

The future of Bank Card supply is open, independent, dynamic supply relationships which bring together innovative companies capabilities through joint ventures and alliances. These companies have a wealth of untapped creativity and skills. Financial institutions will demand relationships with not only card manufacturers, but with application developers, system integrators and silicon suppliers.

TTi's business model from the outset is to offer solutions within the new supply chain dynamics, the first very successful partnership being Toshiba, Toppan and ID Data. TTi's also has total freedom to form strategic alliances with appropriate partners to build and deliver financial solutions to our customers requirements. TTi is more than just a basic bank card supplier.

Toshiba provide unrivalled technical research and development skills in the production of banking applications, associated silicon and technology developments. Toppan provide significant printing and smart card assembly experience worldwide. ID Data provide magnetic and smart card manufacturing skills, highly personalised and creative bureau services and knowledge of the banking and financial markets. Together, the three founder members provide a credible and effective combination, totally dedicated to the delivery of high quality products and services into the banking market.

The global presence of the three founding partners also makes TTi a global supplier of bank card solutions. TTi currently exports to over 70 countries from its European base and has a presence in almost 100 countries world-wide.
