MESA, Ariz.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--May 26, 2005--TranSend International Inc. (TranSend) announced today that Banka Koper has begun issuing MasterCard OneSMART EMV Cards with PocketServer(TM) in Slovenija. Banka Koper is the first of seven banks in the Activa System Bank Group to launch. The Activa banks will issue more than 1 million EMV cards over the next two years.
While details of the financial arrangements are confidential, Banka Koper and TranSend are pleased by the resulting benefits to both companies
Dan Wright, president of TranSend, stated, "I was extremely impressed with the size and attendance of the launch event.
In attendance were media representatives, Slovene government officials, business managers from the 100 fastest-growing enterprises, and banks from surrounding countries." Wright continued, "Interest among many of the banks in the region for our product is very high and we will work with them so that they can also have successful launchs of PocketServer for their EMV programs.
I personally appreciate Banka Koper's leadership in the region and their commitment to promote the benefits of PocketServer within the Activa Group and to banks throughout the geographic region." Being a leader, Banka Koper is the first financial institution to utilize PocketServer 3.2 which includes one-click form fill instead of the previous drag and drop technique for consumer information.
Banka Koper and TranSend both anticipate increased benefits from this new convenience feature for its customers.
Wright further added, "With drag and drop, financial institutions reported a 400% increase in profit and a 50% increase in retention.
One can only imagine how much better the results will be with the auto-form fill in 3.2; perhaps as high as 500% or 600%." About TranSend International Inc. TranSend International Inc.
