  • ACS Talks about NFC and Digital Mobile Wallet in Cards & Payments Asia 2014

    HONG KONG, 7 May, 2014 - Advanced Card Systems Ltd. (ACS), a top worldwide supplier of smart cards and smart card readers, delivered talks about NFC and digital mobile wallet adoption in the recently concluded Cards & Payments Asia 2014 exhibition. In his talk entitled, “Non-Payment NFC,” Gilbert Leung, ACS’s Vice President, Sales and Marketing, advocated exploring more purposes for NFC. Gilbert showed successful cases of the use of NFC for improved transit, parking, marketing, loyalty programs, access control, education, and training. These application areas are not only key to bringing NFC mainstream, but also represent multiple revenue streams. A wide range of transactions can be performed through NFC devices. Desktop readers, handheld readers, and even readers modules prove that NFC can be used in different environments, and for all sorts of application areas. Meanwhile, Chiqui Acedilla, ACS’s Sales Manager, delivered a talk entitled “Easing Into Digital Wallet through Loyalty Applications.” Chiqui citedas an example the e-PLUS TaptoPay project, where an all-in-one, multi-purpose, stored value contactless smart card is used by patrons of the largest mall operator and retail company in the Philippines. ACS was chosen as the sole technology partner to provide this nation-wide, end-to-end loyalty and payment solution. Since launch, the project has helped enable faster, more secure, and more convenient transactions, lower cash handling costs, and generate better reports for mall facilities and tenants.For NFC and digital wallet solutions, please email [email protected].

(ACS, a wholly owned subsidiary of Advanced Card Systems Holdings Ltd., SEHK: 8210), Asia Pacific's top supplier and one of the world's top 3 suppliers of PC-linked smart card readers (Source: Frost & Sullivan), has been chosen as one of Forbes Asia’s Best Under a Billion companies in 2014.

The unranked list is comprised of 200 top-performing Asia-Pacific companies, selected from a pool of 17,000 publicly listed companies with revenues between USD 5 million and USD 1 billion. According to Forbes, eligible companies must not only be profitable; they must also be consistently growing, and with modest indebtedness. Candidates must also be free from major legal trouble and questionable accounting or management practices. In the past three years, ACS has consistently exceeded its own sales targets resulting in steady profit growth. ACS’s sales revenue in 2013 was historically the highest ever achieved. An annual customer satisfaction survey among ACS clients shows that as of 2014, clients regard their relationship with the company as very good (on a five-point scale ranging from very poor, poor, neutral, good to very good) -which ACS attributes to the trust established between itself and partners, and the simplicity and transparency characterizing ACS business contracts. “The Best Under a Billion List is not a compilation of top performers in the technology industry. Rather, it is a list that covers all industries, such as manufacturing, construction, software and so forth,” says Denny Wong, founder and CEO of ACS. “We are proud to be part of the list that is screened based not only on profits, but overall excellence, including evidence of integrity. ACS will strive to maintain a standard of excellence in all aspects of our business.”   About ACS Advanced Card Systems Ltd.
