Users can link their cards to a mobile wallet, with stored monetary value, loyalty points or airtime as the source of funds. They can also use the cards to pay for shopping at retail POS terminals, and withdraw cash from an ATM or for online shopping.
Amdocs said that its card management system can be easily implemented on the cloud as Software as a Service (SaaS), integrating with local card-manufacturing firm for card printing and distribution.
The system incorporates a back-office administration user interface that manages card specifications, card product definitions and issuer identification number (IIN) ranges, it added.
Amdocs president for emerging offerings Patrick McGrory said: “Enabling unbanked and under-banked consumers to own debit or prepaid payment cards will empower them to join the modern digital economy and further encourage them to adopt more mobile financial services.
