Bank of America has signed a seven year plastic card production contract with First Data.
Under the agreement, First Data will provide a range of plastic card personalisation services, including embossing, encoding, photo card production and mailing, for approximately ten million new cards for the bank each year during the contract.
First Data will begin producing the cards later this year from its Chesapeake, Virginia facility.
Cliff Skelton, Bank of America card services operations executive, says: "As one of our card issuing partners, First Data demonstrates innovative card production capabilities and a clear commitment to the quality and productivity initiatives we're seeking to achieve at the bank."
