Thames Card Technology managing director Paul Underwood said: "The remuneration label attention is in duration of critical expansion right opposite Eastern Europe, driven predominately by DDA chip remuneration and twin interface technologies.
"According to the Association of Serbian Banks, there are between five and six million Serbian remuneration cards in circulation, so this understanding will have a large and certain impact on cardholders locally."
