Serverside Group – background What is Card Customization? Why customize a Transport card? Stockholm Lokal Case Study
Serverside Group - Background • Global Leaders in online Payment Card Customization • Established 2003, majority owned by Gemalto since 2009 • 720 customized card programs in 26 markets • Leading edge SaaS technology thatenables card issuers to offer web based customized card design capabilities to their cardholders • All clients report major incremental card profitability and many generate an additional revenue stream through charging fees • Key message : Customization drives profitability A Scandinavian Case Study
What is Card Customization? • The ability for a cardholder or card applicant to design and apply for their own card online • Customers choose from a gallery of approved images or simply upload an image from their own photo library • They use a simple design tool to manipulate the image, preview their design and submit it for processing • A hand off to a digital print facility does the rest A Scandinavian Case Study
Stockholm Lokal: Existing Service • Travellers access the transport service via paper ticket and closed loop prepaid access card • Travelers apply for the reloadable card online or at a ticket office • 2.5m cards are in circulation for only 900,000 travelers – many have/had more than one card • Card is free to travelers and hence treated as disposable • Cost of wasted cards and card reissue is unsustainable • Paper tickets are also costly and inefficient A Scandinavian Case Study
Stockholm Lokal: Strategy • Phase out paper tickets and drive up Card uptake and reloading • Promote online application – SEK20 for ticket office and ZERO FEE for online application • With more travelers directed to the website, promote online card customization to • Get cardholders bonded to their card – encouraging them to reload it rather than dispose of it and get a new one • Recover processing costs by charging SEK100 per customized card – only SEK80 more than standard card • Seek to drive a small profit from fees over time • Use fun customization solution to rebrand and remarket card usage and direct travelers to the website A Scandinavian Case Study

Choose to pay for another or pay nothing for standard plastic • Future development – allow reloading of customized cards online (currently at ticket office only) A Scandinavian Case Study
