With its global network of sales offices and professionally trained employees, G&D is able to offer both proximity to its customers and local market expertise, allowing it to react quickly and specifically to market requirements. The technology group operates a worldwide network of certified, high-security production plants for card personalization and production in both large and small volumes.
In the last few years, payment cards have been transformed from mere standard products into highly individual design objects, offering far more than just protection of the customer data that they hold. As a result, card production itself has developed into a service-oriented, customized production process.

G&D provides state-of-the-art technologies for card production and personalization to meet this need for individual design and cost-efficient processes. As well as the obligatory card elements, all G&D personalization facilities can also provide optional design and security elements for card personalization – from a single card through to large quantities.
To respond to the global trend for individualization, G&D has developed the Convego System Picture Card solution. The software is integrated into a bank's website and allows their customers to order personalized cards, bearing a picture of their choice for example. To ensure that the introduction of picture cards is as straightforward as possible, G&D takes care of reviewing the images, and designs the graphical user interface in line with each bank's corporate identity. The G&D personalization center personalizes the customer-specific payment cards in accordance with the high G&D standards, using edge-to-edge printing technology.
Convego System Instant Issuance allows banks and retailers to personalize their smartcards quickly and securely themselves in their own branches or outlets. Using the small, secure desktop personalization system, banks and retailers can issue their customers with a finished personalized smartcard at any branch in just a few minutes. Instant issuance is compatible with the technologies that are used in the G&D personalization centers. Financial institutions therefore have the option of outsourcing to G&D the personalization of larger volumes or different card types whenever they wish.
