2024 Winners - Category Smart Cards

Toppan Gravity - Metal Double-Sided Contactless EVC Card

Toppan Gravity is the first to integrate the EVC dynamic security code micromodule by Ellipse into a metal card, allowing the EVC to refresh during contactless transactions, regardless of which side of the card is used. This innovative engineering enables the EVC to be embedded in a variety of premium card materials and designs, offering the ultimate protection, sophistication, and elegance.

STMicroelectronics - ST31N600 secure microcontroller for Biometry, EVC and FIDO authentication

The ST31N600 secure microcontroller from STMicroelectronics enhances payment card security by combining contactless communication, energy harvesting, and robust cryptographic features in a battery-free, space-efficient design. The best part? It powers secure EMV transactions, supports biometric applications, and logical authentication —also known as FIDO.

Our secure microcontroller is central to the EVC all-in-one micromodule, the new standard in payment security for e-commerce. As a results, the ST31N600 plays a crucial role in creating advanced, secure, and user-friendly payment solutions that meet the growing challenges of the industry.

Ellipse - EVC (Ellipse Verification Code)

EVC technology virtually eliminates credit & debit fraud for online shopping transactions – a multibillion dollar problem for banks, merchants, and cardholders – by embedding a dynamic security code (dCVV/dCVC) onto the card itself via a revolutionary battery-free, electronic paper. EVC is also the first to bring Invisible Mode to cards, giving cardholders the ability to completely hide their CVC/CVV via a mobile app. EVC enhances the security of remote card transactions, alleviating concerns of even the most skeptical customers, and puts cardholders in the driver’s seat, allowing them to maintain full control over the new functionalities – conveniently within the mobile application.

2024 Winners - Category Innovative Payments

Barnes International - CPT v4 Test Tool for Visa Global Self-Service PVT

The first test tool to be fully validated by Visa for their new Global Self-Service PVT process, developed as a new module on our market-leading CPT platform. This test tool enables issuers, card personalisation bureaus and processors to validate and pre-certify their chip card products, with electronic digitised submission of test results to Visa Global. Removing the need to send physical cards, saving time, effort and cost whilst also minimising carbon footprint.
