Date Posted: 23:02:40 02/01/03 Sat pourquoi5 (ID#: 224751) Breaking News-New Visa Bank Issuer 2/2/03 7:32:45 AM 5991405 « Previous Message Next Message » http://www.firstnational.com/fnb/ We have a new issuer-click on the web site reference to smart cards. Some basic trade mark research in May prompted a question at the Catuity AGM re this bank-I asked whether Catuity had held discussions with them and that was confirmed. The TM searches had revealed that FN had a number of smart card registrations around the words "SmartOne"and the marks were registered for smart cards and loyalty programs.They also threw up another large Visa issuer-Capital One Corporation(but no news on their plans has come out yet). Here's the story "smartOneSM Platinum Edition® Visa Card from First National Bank Omaha" Another U.S. Visa Issuer Offers A Smart Card First National Bank of Omaha has become the fifth Visa credit card issuer in the United States to offer a smart card. First National is promoting the smartOne card on its Web site. The card’s "smart Access" feature promises greater online security by allowing the cardholder to select a 4-digit personal identification number that must be entered to log onto the First National Internet banking site. It also promises cardholders exclusive access to "Visa smart space," a Web site with special offers for holders of Visa smart cards. The bank is offering a free smart card reader that cardholders can hook up to their personal computers. A First National spokesperson declined to comment on the smart card. Besides First National, other issuers of Visa smart cards include Fleet Credit Card Services, Providian Financial Corp., Target Corp.’s Retailers National Bank and Bank One Corp. Citibank and the Direct Merchant Bank subsidiary of Metris offer MasterCard-branded smart cards. American Express was the smart card pioneer in the United States with its Blue card, which now has some 6 million cardholders, sources say. Visa USA says there were just over 12 million Visa-branded smart cards circulating at the end of 2002. MasterCard smart cards are believed to number in the thousands. ( 2003-01-31 ) And here is a bit about the bank itself. First National Bank Omaha is a division of First National of Nebraska, a multi-state holding company located in the heart of downtown Omaha.
