for the CPT 3000 EMV PVT
Visa EU & CEMEA Member Banks issuing EMV cards
- Streamline your Visa EMV card approval process
- Save the high costs wasted on EMV cards rejected by Visa
- Use the same test tool as Visa to pre-test your EMV cards
Visa Member banks issuing EMV cards for the Visa scheme are required to submit representative personalised samples of the cards to Visa for approval prior to actual issue. Visa EU and CEMEA now use the Barnes CPT3000 EMV PVT (Personalisation Validation Tool) with the CVT optional test script pack to test and approve the cards. Visa EU & CEMEA strongly recommend that members use such tools to pre-test and correct the cards before submitting them for approval - this saves the effort and time wasted by sending cards for approval only to have them rejected.
During 2005, Visa EU and CEMEA issued the Visa Card Validation Tool (CVT) specification to Test Tool suppliers. This specification brings together and formalises the many and complex magnetic stripe and chip card validation and acceptance requirements for approval of personalised EMV cards intended for the Visa scheme in the EU and CEMEA regions. Visa EU & CEMEA now base Approval on the CVT specification. The Visa CVT script pack option developed by Barnes for the CPT3000 EMV PVT is available for use by Members to test cards for conformance to the Visa CVT requirements before submitting the cards to Visa for approval.
NB. The CVT script pack is available both for the CPT3000 and the recently introduced CPT3000v3.
