• ACS Launches ACR3901U-S1 Bluetooth® Contact Card Reader

  HONG KONG, 2 October, 2015 - Advanced Card Systems Ltd. (ACS, a wholly owned subsidiary of Advanced Card Systems Holdings Ltd., SEHK: 2086), Asia Pacific's top supplier and one of the world's top 3 suppliers of PC-linked smart card readers (Source: Frost & Sullivan), today launched the ACR3901U-S1 Bluetooth Contact Card Reader. The ACR3901U-S1 works with mobile devices to support contact smart cards, even without a physical connection to any terminal. ACR3901U-S1 works with devices running on Android™ 4.3 or higher, iOS 6.0 or higher, and Windows 8 or higher, and MAC OS. It supports ISO 7816 Class A, B, and C smart cards, most memory cards, and microprocessor cards with T=0 or T=1 protocol. This compact mobile card reader is powered by a rechargeable Lithium-ion battery, which makes it suitable for use anywhere. Devices supporting Bluetooth Smart® (also known as Bluetooth Low Energy or BLE), like ACR3901U-S1, are suited not only for conventional applications such as file exchange and entertainment, but also for health and fitness, security, etc. BLE enables running off a tiny battery for extended periods, and has a communication range similar to Bluetooth Classic. The Bluetooth Special Interest Group estimates that BLE-supporting smartphones will exceed 90 percent by the end of 2018. Aside from its BLE interface, ACR3901U-S1 also has a USB Interface, which enables PC-linked operations and device charging. A built-in switch will help the user toggle between PC-linked and charging modes. It is also USB firmware upgradeable, ensuring that the user can easily keep pace with fast-changing technology scenarios. “The ACR3901U-S1 takes mobility to another level,” says Gilbert Leung, Senior Vice President of Sales and Marketing for ACS. “After we have launched smart card readers that are simply plugged into mobile devices, we are now offering a smart card reader that requires no connection to a smartphone or tablet, but still enables such devices to perform smart card–based transactions. We are pleased to be able to develop devices ensuring that smart card technology is always at the user’s fingertips.” For more information about the ACR3901U-S1 or other mobile card readers, email [email protected] or visit www.acs.com.hk.

• ACS Wins Silver Award for e-PLUS Tap to Pay in 2014 IVIE Awards

  HONG KONG, 30 Oct, 2014 - Advanced Card Systems Ltd. (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), was recognized in the 2014 IVIE Awards held last Oct 16 in the Ontario Bar Association, Ontario, Canada. IVIE Awards was organized by ACT CANADA, an international non-profit association serving different stakeholders of the smart card industry. IVIE Awards recognizes “innovation in payments and secure identity products using secure chip technologies.” This year, ACS won a Silver Award for International Payments Benefiting Merchants for e-PLUS Tap to Pay (e-PLUS). e- PLUS is a stored value contactless smart card that embodies the all-in-one card concept. It is a nationwide loyalty and e-payment system provided to the largest shopping mall and retail operator in the Philippines. It is used to accept micropayments in retail establishments and select transport systems, and provide perks for cardholders. Given the system’s reach, it is unparalleled in its potential to bring merchants the benefits of contactless payment technology. e-PLUS enables contactless payment and rewards redemption, so operations become more efficient. The system also helps merchants generate data on consumer spending. Since participating merchants are all accessible to consumers through one card, the merchants are all exposed to a wider market. Finally, partner merchants are also able to accept cashless payments without spending for their own technology by piggybacking on the e-PLUS. “With enough traction, systems like e-PLUS can be launch-pads for more value-adding applications,” says Gilbert Leung, Senior Vice President for Sales and Marketing. “Today, the e-PLUS is a secure, convenient system for e-payment, loyalty, and automatic fare collection (AFC). Tomorrow, it could be an all-in-one card that delivers the best of smart card technology to more interest groups.” Andrea McMullen, Vice President of ACT Canada presents Bob Merkert, President, Americas for Advanced Card Systems LTD with the 2014 IVIE Silver Award for International Payments Benefiting Merchants.
