Summary

Giesecke+Devrient (G+D) used its Money20/20 presence to showcase integrated paytech that blends digital and physical issuance, emphasizing a balance of convenience and security through authentication tools like 3DS and partnerships with digital specialist Netheights. The company highlighted fraud mitigation across channels and demonstrated e‑commerce and transaction-level solutions designed to reduce friction while preventing scams. G+D also promoted tangible sustainability efforts—partnering with Santander Spain to collect and recycle expired cards into branded objects—and detailed an accessibility-by-design initiative after workshops with disability groups and industry partners. The presentation framed these efforts as a unified strategy: card expertise plus software engineering to deliver secure, inclusive, and sustainable payment experiences.
