Are there any differences when personalizing contactless payment cards versus magnetic-stripe-only cards?
Yes. There are additional personalization processes for contactless payment cards since payment data and security keys are loaded onto the contactless smart card chip. Most major personalization bureaus support the contactless process. Issuers should contact their personalization vendor for changes and additions to their existing process for embossing and encoding.
