MULTICARD LAUNCHES ONLINE CASH ACCOUNT
MANAGEMENT FOR POPULAR SWISS EDUCATION ID
CARD
WALLISELLEN and SION, Switzerland – November 29, 2011 – Multicard, a leading supplier of
credential solutions, identity management and system integration services and a business unit of
Identive Group, Inc. (NASDAQ: INVE, Frankfurt: INV), today announced the launch of polypurse™, an
Internet-based platform for managing the cashless payment functions of its popular Swiss ID card for
campus environments. polypurse adds new features and convenience, including online account
management and reporting, for the tens of thousands of student and employee cardholders at
universities and hospitals across Switzerland.
With polypurse, cardholders can now perform a range of cashcard management operations online,
including checking account balances, verifying transactions and re-loading the card with cash value
via a bank account or credit card. In addition, polypurse enables cardholders to securely access value-
added local services such as Mobility CarSharing® for short-term city car rental and velopass for bike
rental.
“Our Polyright ID card has been extremely successful on university campuses in Switzerland, serving
as an all-in-one ID credential for payment, building access, library check-out, locker or bike rental and
a number of other applications,” said Thierry Gattlen, Managing Director of Multicard polyright SA.
“The ability to manage the cash functions of the card online via polypurse offers significant
convenience for holders. In addition polypurse helps prepare the card for an extended life beyond
university, as people can continue to use the cashless payment functions of the card after
graduating.”
Multicard’s integrated ID solutions for education enable secure identity management, cashless
payment on campus POS, vending machines and copiers and seamless integration to additional
applications, including dorm access, IT network access, time and attendance and transportation
