2024 Exhibitor Interviews - Barnes International
1) How did your last participation at TRUSTECH go?
We had a very busy three days on our stand demonstrating our CPT and Mag-Stripe test tools and it was good to have the opportunity to showcase our developments to people across the industry and discuss key projects with our partners.
2) Could you describe your company as well as the products/solutions that you will be presenting at TRUSTECH 2024?
We are leaders in designing, manufacturing and licensing testing tools and systems for certification and quality control in the production of chip and mag-stripe cards and devices. All backed up by expert technical knowledge, training programmes and firstclass support 24/7.
Our global CPT chip product is available for both local testing and also via remote servers and we will be demonstrating its capabilities at Trustech 2024.
We will also be showcasing our latest developments, with exciting updates to share on CPT, including the new module for Visa Global Self-Service PVT.
3) In your opinion, what are the current trends that are providing opportunities for your company?
Certification testing of payment cards and devices is continually evolving. But there are two significant trends which offer opportunity for us.
Firstly, the move towards including EVC dynamic security codes and biometrics in cards, which makes personalisation testing even more crucial than ever.
And secondly, the shift towards digitised testing over the web which will potentially create more dynamic and efficient processes.
4) Why did you choose to participate at TRUSTECH 2024? How is TRUSTECH important for growing your business?
TRUSTECH is the principal event for the card manufacturing industry and we look forward to attending every year. It's a great opportunity to meet with our customers, suppliers and partners to discuss the trends, needs and developments in the industry and to showcase our market leading card &device test tools.
5) Where do you intend to grow your business in the future (countries or verticals)?
We are focused on continuing to build our presence globally across all areas of the payment sector to deliver the most reliable issuance and test tools for electronic transactions.
