Case Study: Viseca Card Services secures and automates 24/7 payment-card data flows with Axway Managed File Transfer

Governing the Flow of Data for Payment Card Services, Using Axway Managed File Transfer Solutions

Viseca Card Services, a Zurich-based issuer of credit and prepaid cards serving more than one million cardholders and partnering with MasterCard and VISA, needed a highly secure managed file transfer (MFT) platform to govern over 200 distinct data flows across its European infrastructure. The company required 24/7 availability, support for multiple protocols in a single product, strict enforcement of transfer rules for time-critical processes (like embossing), and a secure master data safe to protect cardholder information and safeguard partner reputations.

Viseca implemented Axway Gateway and Axway Transfer CFT to centralize B2B exchanges and enforce secure, automated transfers. The solution provides encryption, credential verification, and unidirectional transfers for a rock-solid DMZ, enabling fully automated 24/7 operations with no operator intervention. Today Viseca moves nearly 200 file types—over 500,000 files a year (≈1 TB)—reliably, supports outsourced back-end processing and settlement workflows, and meets strict security and audit requirements.
