Thames Technology has partnered with Ellipse to offer an additional layer of advanced protection for its banking cards. The collaboration enables Thames Technology to integrate Ellipse’s EVC® battery-free dynamic security code technology into its payment cards offerings.

These cards incorporate the EVC All-In-One™, the newest generation EMV micromodule with a built-in screen displaying dynamic security codes for banking security. According to the announcement, by integrating Ellipse's dynamic security code solution (EVC), the risk of fraudulent transactions is virtually eliminated. Ellipse’s eco-friendly battery-free EMV module with mini-digital CVV display on the back of the card, provides a new security code for each card-present transaction.

Additionally, the cardholder can initiate the code change on demand through a mobile app as needed. The technology ensures that if the card details and CVV were fraudulently copied, the security code will have changed by the time someone tries to make transaction. This practically eliminates card-not-present (CNP) fraud and false declines while offering a frictionless experience.

As a result, cards using the EVC chip are positioned as trusted and secure option for security conscious banking customers.
