Membership & Leisure

Universal Smart Cards is seeing a sharp rise in the adoption of smart card technology for the Membership and Leisure Industry.

Even in today’s digital world, a plastic card, fob, or wearable is still the best way to provide its members with a product that re-enforces its brand. The trick is now to engage the member with as many value-added services to drive further engagement and value. This is particularly important when it comes to renewal time.

Smart card technology provides a perfect platform for this as its versatile and flexible memory facilitates multiple applications, but it is also convenient, secure, and easy to use.

Paper tickets and coupons are therefore being replaced with smart card technology for multiple uses in areas like sports venues, gym memberships, clubs, and associations. One standard becoming increasingly popular is Near-Field Communication (NFC) using smart cards. This allows smartphones to read and validate NFC-enabled cards and wearables. For example, an encoded member card using NFC technology can be authenticated to a cloud server using a standard smartphone in the field. The opportunities are endless!
