Smart Card Systems

LTK has supported many successful transitions from currency, coins and paper to smart cards and other smart technologies. Similar to a credit or debit card, smart cards are long-lasting, cost-effective and reduce the agency role of media distribution.  While the traditional model includes data written only to cards, LTK strongly encourages agencies to consider a more secure, long-term approach of an account-based system with data contained in a back-end or cloud-based system.
