COLOMBES, France--(BUSINESS WIRE/ME NewsWire)-- OT (Oberthur Technologies), a leading global provider of embedded security software products, services and solutions and a forerunner in the payment sector, has been selected by Mashreq Bank to deploy Instant Card Issuance in the United Arab Emirates (UAE).
Mashreq Bank is one of the UAE’s leading financial institutions. Established in 1967 by the Al-Ghurair Group, it is the largest private sector bank in the UAE. With 50 years of experience in the UAE banking and financial services industry, Mashreq Bank is well established as a leading commercial and retail bank.
OT has developed an innovative solution for banks to instantly issue cards. Using this service, the bank can instantly provide a card to its end-users. Customers can open an account and take away their fully personalized debit/credit cards immediately.
The solution provided to Mashreq Bank by OT is currently deployed at 35 branches in both the UAE & Qatar, supporting issuance of over 40 Credit and Debit Card products. OT has deployed its own personalization system in Mashreq’s branches, allowing the bank to benefit from OT’s expertise in EMV card personalization.

“We are very proud that OT has been Mashreq’s preferred partner for EMV personalization for over a decade. Mashreq is among only a handful of banks that provide innovative and convenient payment solutions to its customers”, said Muzaffar Khokhar, Regional President for Russia, Middle East and Africa at OT.
