Gemplus' multi-application microprocessor card offers secure payment and data management features.
The MPCOS-EMV is used in a wide range of applications, including:

Electronic purse (open or closed payment schemes)
Banking debit/credit, passbook, pre-authorized debit, magstripe image)
Public applications (identity, driving license, health care, road pricing)
Access control (logical or physical, etc.)
Multi-purpose (loyalty, retail...)


MPCOS-EMV offer is the most comprehensive range of microprocessor cards on the market. This card draws on Gemplus' considerable experience in smart card design, dating back to one of the earlier microprocessor cards designed in 1989. Gemplus is continually working the MPCOS-EMV range to keep it abreast with the latest market standards. MPCOS-EMV has been selected for all types of applications by more than 100 customers worldwide. Thanks to its high level of security, MPCOS-EMV has been chosen as a national banking standard in several countries.

MPCOS-EMV allows you to upgrade your application when necessary, to implement contactless / Combicard technology (using the future GEM COMBI MPCOS), additional public key cryptography (using the GPK range that is derived from MPCOS-EMV) or other products from Gemplus...

MPCOS-EMV is widely supported by terminal manufacturers.
