CPI Card Group Inc. (Nasdaq: PMTS, TSX: PMTS) (“CPI”), a global leader in financial and EMV® chip card production and related services, today announced collaboration with Commercial Business Systems (CBS), a provider of premium software and IT services for credit unions, to integrate CBS’ CAMS-ii credit union accounting and management system and CPI’s Card@Once solution to streamline instant issuance of EMV®-enabled cards.
The integrated instant issuance offering from CPI and CBS equips credit unions with an end-to-end print and activation solution allowing branches to respond immediately to members for new and replacement cards. CAMS-ii software relieves credit unions of the time-consuming, resource-heavy responsibilities of information management, while Card@Once adds simple, cost-effective instant issuance to a credit union’s capabilities. A core integration between the solutions allows credit unions to activate cards during printing to the Card@Once printer from their CAMS-ii user interface, eliminating the need for dual entry.
“The integration will allow branches to issue fully activated EMV chip cards in the span of a short visit,” said Lane Dubin, SVP and General Manager, Prepaid and Instant Issuance for CPI. “We’re thrilled to work with CBS to offer their customers a competitive solution that expedites the delivery of debit and credit cards.”
“Our primary focus has always been on alleviating the burdens of information management and ensuring that our credit union clients are positioned for success,” said Ken Hunt, VP for CBS. “Integrating our software with Card@Once is a natural fit, helping our customers benefit from leading-edge instant issuance technology as they focus on driving their growth.”
The core integration of CBS’ CAMS-ii credit union management software and CPI’s Card@Once instant issuance solution will be available to all clients using the CAMS-ii software. Learn more at www.camsbycbs.com.
