SPS partners with Ellipse to integrate SPS eBoost inductive coupling technology in their EVC® All-In-One module


ROUSSET, France, Nov. 30, 2021 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Card-Not-Present payments, used in eCommerce, are plagued with fraud caused by the low level of security provided by the fixed Card Security Code (CSC, also known as CVV or CVC) printed on the signature panel of most payment cards. Ellipse has developed the Ellipse Verification Code (EVC), displayed on the back of the card, that refreshes automatically during every contact or contactless EMV transaction, rendering pointless any fraudster attempt to copy and reuse it.

Thanks to the integration of SPS's eBoost® inductive coupling technology with the EVC® All-In-One module, card manufacturers can easily mass produce eCommerce-ready payment cards. Dual-interface cards based on this technology do not require any physical connection between the micromodule and the antenna, thus benefitting from the advantages of this simple embedding process in terms of cost efficiency, reliability and card life expectancy.

SPS' EVC® All-In-One module easily integrates into the traditional manufacturing process of dual-interface cards where the EVC® All-In-One module is embedded in place of the traditional EMV module, avoiding any disruption to both the supply chain and the manufacturing process. Embedding the micromodule at the very end of the manufacturing operations guarantees that no micromodule will be wasted because of card body manufacturing issues.

Thanks to its exclusive All-in-One design, Ellipse's battery-free EVC technology ensures an easy and cost-effective manufacturing of dual-interface eCommerce-ready payment cards. The solution maximizes payment card life, therefore reducing premature card reissuance, and supports eco-friendly initiatives. The solution developed by Ellipse is compatible with all EMV chips and the EVC code verification is easy to deploy as it fully leverages existing EMV rails and does not require an additional server on the issuer side.

Jean-Baptiste Leos, marketing director for banking products at SPS declares: "This partnership with Ellipse allows us to achieve a new step in our product offer. With the EVC® All-In-One module, card manufacturers are now able to satisfy even better the requirements of financial institutions by bringing them an innovative, high margin and easy-to-integrate solution to significantly improve eCommerce security."

Cyril Lalo, Ellipse CEO, adds: "Our technology has never been so easy to integrate for card vendors. Thanks to SPS Inductive Coupling technology, integrated in our EVC® All-In-One module, all card manufacturers can use their traditional EMV module milling and embedding process to deliver a new product that brings a highly demanded differentiation to banks concerned with transaction security and bring peace of mind to all stakeholders: cardholders as well as merchants."

The SPS EVC® All-In-One module will be demonstrated on SPS booth 5.2 D035 during Trustech, the Global Event dedicated to Payments, Identification and Security, that will take place in Porte de Versailles, Paris Expo from November 30 to December 2nd 2021. Come and visit us for a demonstration!
