CPT PVT Test Tool is qualified by Visa for Global Self-Service Personalization Validation Testing
At Barnes International we are continuing to lead the personalization validation testing market by developing the first test tool to be fully qualified by Visa for the new Global Self-Service PVT process.
Issuers, and card personalization bureaus on behalf of issuers, can now test their cards with our qualified PVT tool. Then directly generate a Pass results file for electronic submission into Visa Global’s CCRT validation process, removing the need to send the physical cards to Visa. Which should save considerable time, effort and cost and also minimize carbon footprint.
Visa Global Self-Service PVT
The Visa Global Self-Service PVT process has been launched recently by Visa to all markets worldwide except Europe. With the self-service option, issuers can perform PVT on their own. This eliminates the need to send white plastics to Visa for validation. The key benefits include;
- Streamlined testing with remote PVT using the new CPT software
- Easier outsourcing for card personalisation, production and fulfillment
- Faster time to market through more efficient processes
- Saving money on fees and distribution.
Matthieu Charpentier, Vice President, Authentication and Identity at Visa stated “At Visa, we are committed to driving advancements in secure, innovative solutions. The Global Self-Service PVT initiative underscores our dedication to fostering a more efficient and secure authentication process for our customers.”
To be able to use the self-service option, a Visa-qualified PVT tool containing the Visa digitized test set must be used.
