Convego Apply not only enables the use of flexible applications on conventional payment cards, but also on mobile payment products like SIM cards or microSD cards. What is more, enhanced functionalities for public transport and ID cards can also be implemented using Convego Apply.

Greater added value, longer service life

The applications can be implemented either when the cards are personalized or at a later date. This allows banks and card issuers to provide their customers with new or enhanced functions even after the cards have been issued, thereby considerably increasing the added value of the cards. In doing so, they can also establish longer lifecycles for the cards and significantly reduce card reissuing costs.
