Multicard and LEGICâ„¢ join to provide multifunctional customer and credit card solutions

Partnership comes as response to growing demand for multifunctional smart card solutions

Multicard AG, renowned general contractor in the smart card project consultancy and implementation, is expanding its product portfolio. Multicard has closed on a licence partnership with LEGIC Identsystems Ltd, the leading producer of contactless smart card technology. Therefore, the company is now offering highly developed LEGIC technology-based multifunctional customer and credit card solutions.

With this partnership, the company is reacting to the growing demand for multifunctional smart card solutions. Multicard has already successfully introduced LEGIC based contactless smart cards as customer cards with an integrated ticket for local public transport services in the town of Augsburg/Germany. Besides applications in the field of electronic fare management, Multicard is planning to use LEGIC technology in such areas as ticketing and access control.

Sandro Avanzini, Sales Manager for Multicard AG, expects the partnership to

The introduction of the Karocard within Augsburg's public services is without doubt merely the start of a series of promising projects with LEGIC."

"Multicard AG marks a further enrichment of our international partner network," also states Dr. Otto Eggimann, Vice President Sales and Business Development of LEGIC. "The successful realisation of the first joint projects has proven that Multicard has convincing know-how to position our technology profitably in major projects on the market."
