TAG will be responsible for production, personalisation and distribution of around half the company's cards in Sweden, Norway, Denmark and Finland. The agreement runs to the end of 2010.

"We recognize that TAG offers good solutions for deliveries at the Nordic level. When choosing a supplier, it was important to ensure reliable deliveries for our customers. SEB Kort plans to migrate from traditional magnetic strip card technology to chip cards. This process will make it particularly important to have a reliable supplier with in-depth expertise in the new technology", comments Tonje Stabell Lund at SEB Kort.

"We are very pleased that SEB Kort has chosen us as a Nordic partner for card production. This confirms our position as a Nordic-wide supplier, and demonstrates that our commitment to the Nordic market is proving successful. SEB Kort is an exciting customer for us, and we look forward to expanding our collaboration in the Nordic countries", explains Eva Trasti, EVP - Bank & Finance at EDB.

TAG will supply card blanks, chips, personalisation and distribution for around half of the cards issued by SEB Kort in Sweden, Norway, Denmark and Finland. TAG already supplies card blanks, personalisation and distribution for the major part of SEB Kort's card portfolio in Norway. TAG Systems AS is a wholly-owned subsidiary of EDB.
