Introduction to EC2000 Features
Increase card activation and usage while enhancing cardholder satisfaction and security with ExpressCard
2000 (EC2000). EC2000 can securely, fully personalize any CR80-sized credit, debit, ATM, gift, loyalty,
or membership card in as little as 90 seconds. Personalization includes embossing, indent printing, foil
tipping, and full-color image printing, all in one compact card personalization device (CPD). Now you
can inspire loyalty and increase card usage with cards that feature photos of family, friends, pets, and
holidays. ExpressCard 2000 provides the custom personalization you need to distinguish yourself from
your competitors.
ExpressCard 2000 is supported by QwickCards.com and a wide range of third-party software solutions,
creating a complete, secure instant issuance system for distributed locations that can be maintained and
controlled centrally. With the feature-rich solution offered by EC2000, financial institutions will be able
to meet current market needs and also support new card issuance trends, including smart cards,
contactless cards, flat cards, and photo cards.
EC2000 uses the security of MagTek’s advanced MagneSafe™ Security Architecture, and MagnePrint®
card authentication technology for magstripe reading/encoding. It can be configured for point-to-point
authentication to ensure that card creation requests only come from authorized workstations.
ExpressCard 2000’s physical and logical security features exceed compliance requirements for instant
issuance published by Visa® and MasterCard®.
EC2000’s MagnePrint Reference Capture Module captures and registers each card’s unique MagnePrint®
signature as it is issued. This registered signature can then be used to protect legitimate cardholders by
validating that the card being used at an ATM, teller window, home banking, or POS location is
authentic, not a counterfeit copy.
EC2000 gives your customers the freedom to express themselves.
