OT and Swedbank Reinforce Their Long-Standing Partnership with a 6-Year Renewal Contract in Sweden and the Baltic Regions
Oberthur Technologies (OT), a world leader in digital security solutions
for the mobility space today announced the strengthening of its
long-standing partnership with Swedbank with a 6-year renewal contract
to provide Sweden, Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania with payment cards,
personalization and Smart Services.
Since 2009, OT has been the sole supplier of Swedbank, in order to
support the bank in its objective to strengthen and broaden its card
programs, in the countries where Swedbank operates and issues payment
cards. For the next six years, OT will provide all Swedbank's contact
and dual interface payment cards portfolio, as well as personalization
services, operated in OT's services centers in the Nordic region.
OT will also provide Smart Services to the bank, such as Smart Assure
and Smart OneCard. OT's Smart Assure is a comprehensive business
continuity planning solution which enables the bank to consistently
offer a high level of services to its cardholder base. Smart OneCard is
OT's complete solution for picture cards: from image upload by the
cardholder through to card personalization and fulfillment.
"We are delighted Swedbank have renewed their confidence in us with this
6-year new contract. It means that this leading bank in Scandinavia and
the Baltic region trusts OT to provide secure payment cards and related
services" said Eric Duforest, Managing Director of the Payment Business
Unit at OT. "Furthermore, it reinforces OT's position as the market
leader inthe payment business in Northern Europe".
"Swedbank wanted to have a unique supplier who covers all its demands in
both technology and geographical footprint. We always strive for being
as efficient as possible in our card business - though cards are the
dominant mean of payment in our markets - our demands for service,
delivery and quality are on a very high level. Since the beginning of
our partnership, in 2009, OT has always been a trustworthy partner. It
was, therefore, natural for us to renew our collaboration for the next
six years" said Michael Anderberg, Senior Manager Card Payments Business
Strategy & Continuity Management, Group Cards at Swedbank.
