Dual Interface Cards
Increased speed and convenience with contactless technology
AUSTRIACARD is one of the largest dual interface card producers worldwide. Nowadays, dual interface cards account for more than 80% of all contactless transactions. The technology allows customers and retailers to profit from reduced waiting times and queues with the distinct characteristics of safer and quicker payments.
Multiple applications on dual interface cards
Dual interface cards may contain and may therefore offer multiple and diverse functionalities such as payment, transit, access control, loyalty schemes and more on a single card.

ACE 2000 Dual Interface
ACE 2000 Dual Interface stands for AUSTRIACARD’s EMV-compliant smart card product range. Based on the company’s own operating system, ACE 2000 Dual Interface supports contact and contactless payment transactions and comprises a set of mandatory and optional EMV functions in accordance with both Mastercard and Visa specifications. AUSTRIACARD’s products offer fast transaction times while ensuring the highest security levels.
The security of offline transactions – both contactless and contact-based – is enriched by Combined DDA and Generate Application Cryptogram (CDA) processing.
Moreover, AUSTRIACARD is using an inductive coupling technology which eliminates the physical connection of the microcontroller with the antenna increasing the robustness of the contactless interface and thus extends the life span of the card.
