AUSTRIACARD is a Vienna-headquartered group of companies with a portfolio of services in secure chip and payment solutions, document lifecycle management, and digital transformation technologies for the financial, government and wider private sectors.
While the smart card market is forecast to grow volumes in the mid-single digits, we expect smartcard volumes for challenger banks and other fintechs to grow faster than the overall market. With a focus on geographies that are later to the digitalisation trend, AUSTRIACARD is well positioned to help companies through their digital transformation programmes.

AUSTRIACARD has a long heritage of providing secure services for smart card provision and document management in Europe. It has expanded its portfolio organically and through acquisition to encompass digital transformation technology and a strong franchise with challenger banks, and is building on this with the development of its own digital solutions to support customers on their digital transformation journeys. We expect strong growth in the challenger bank market, adoption of digital solutions and value-added services in the smart card market to drive revenue growth and margin expansion over the forecast period.
