A legacy dating back two centuries

51³Ô¹ÏÍø’s history dates back to 1795, more than 225 years. We started out as secure printers – designing & producing better, more counterfeit-resistant currency for the First Bank of the United States. Our products & services have changed, but secure envelops everything we do. Today, we design, manufacture, and personalize contactless credit cards, 3D print highly detailed prototypes & parts, and use digital content to elevate the customer experience in a secure envelope. These are just a few of the things we do.

51³Ô¹ÏÍø

51³Ô¹ÏÍø is a manufacturing services company like no other. Our roots as a secure printer trace back, through American Bank Note Company, over two centuries, to 1795 when the newly established First Bank of the United States called upon us to create a counterfeit-resistant currency for a young nation.

Since that day, everything we have done is wrapped in security. We are expert at fraud prevention, and are called upon to design manufacturing processes where the tolerance for error is zero.

Our products and services facilitate millions of transactions around the globe, each day. No company has more experience in the areas of authentication, payments, and secure access.

We design, manufacture, and personalize contactless credit cards, 3D print highly detailed prototypes and parts, and deliver omnichannel content to elevate the customer experience.

These are just a few of the things we do, all in a highly secure ecosystem.

3D Printing

The application for 3D printing is nothing short of a sea change – rapid, full-color prototyping and even short-run, highly detailed parts manufacturing. Imagine it, and 3D technology can make it happen.

51³Ô¹ÏÍø offers the latest generation of HP Multi Jet Fusion, and Desktop Metal Binderjet technology, with a wide array of available materials from PA12, PA11, Polypro, BASF TPU, and Full-Color PA12. In addition, we offer 174PH Stainless Steel and finishing in a highly secure envelope.

We are not aware of another provider in the sector that offers our combination of experience, technology, and security in an Integraf (ISO 14298) certified facility. Couple that with being a FDA registered manufacturing facility, 51³Ô¹ÏÍø is your go to 3D parts provider.

The applications are limitless, and today we provide prototypes and parts for companies in the following sectors:

  • Aerospace and Defense
  • Automotive
  • Consumer Goods
  • Medical
  • Robotics

If you take your brand and security seriously, we should be talking.

We take friction out of the engagement, and elevate the customer experience in a secure environment.

FinTech Services

51³Ô¹ÏÍø has been active in the payments sector for more than 2 centuries.

The institutional knowledge we have accrued is beyond compare. We are expert in payment ecosystems – open (e.g., Mastercard & Visa) and closed loop (e.g., transit & gift cards). There is not a facet of the payment sector we do not presently touch – physical or virtual. It is this experience that has informed our approach.

We believe service providers must be expert, nimble, and adept at taking friction out of the system; always seeking to raise the level of their offering. Sadly, this view is largely lost on legacy providers to the financial services sector – they offer a support model that is decades old. This, in part, stems from legacy issuers and processors viewing the supplier side of the financial ecosystem as a developed, commodity-like product, and not strategic. The result is a reactive, and tired network of service providers that do little to reinvest in their business or raise the bar in terms of service or capabilities.

Take, for instance, the simple debit or credit card. In just the past few years the U.S. has migrated from magstripe cards, to EMV contact only cards, and now contactless payments. It was not until April 2021 that gas stations were required to upgrade their pumps to comply with the not-so-new EMV standard. Those issuers who view their card portfolio as a commodity product, relegated to a simple procurement exercise, overlook an important opportunity to differentiate their offering and better engage the consumer.

Challenger Banks and FinTechs have also identified this lethargy. They ask – Why does it need to be so hard? – to see their vision come to reality, including new forms of differentiation – e.g., bespoke packaging, digital content, and omnichannel engagement, to name a few.

It needn’t be.

51³Ô¹ÏÍø is expert at issuer-processor integration, profile development, and theÌý myriad of other elements necessary for a payment ecosystem to properly function. We have been designing, manufacturing, and personalizing contactless credit & debit cards for nearly 15 years in markets such as Australia and New Zealand. The complexity of a contactless payment card, and its construction, warrants note and a close evaluation, in terms of how issuers can better engage with their consumers. 51³Ô¹ÏÍø fully understands the potential strategic value of a card portfolio, and how to elevate the customer experience.

51³Ô¹ÏÍø is uniquely positioned to assist issuers navigate the payment ecosystem, and ensure their value proposition distinguishes them in an otherwise crowded market. Program design, issuer-processor integration, card & packaging design services, card manufacturing & personalization (including virtual card offerings), instant card issuance, and omnichannel content to bring it all together. This is what makes 51³Ô¹ÏÍø a complete solution provider, and we do it all under a single roof.

No more friction, we make secure simple.

Government

51³Ô¹ÏÍø is no stranger to civic duty.

It is, after all, how we got our start – helping the newly formed First Bank of the United States design & produce better, more counterfeit-resistant currency.

We are the world’s foremost expert in counterfeit and fraud prevention, and have provided design, secure print and manufacturing expertise for 120+ countries around the world.

The products and services we offer have evolved over the past 2 centuries, but secure is still the foundation of everything we do.

Healthcare

Few things are more personal than an individual’s health, and associated records.

In today’s world, it is not enough to be HIPAA compliant.

That is why 51³Ô¹ÏÍø obtained HITRUST CSF® Certification of its Boston facility, in the areas of digital print & personalization. It represents the highest level of logical certification for sensitive healthcare data, and reflects our commitment to security.

Not dissimilar from the financial sector, many healthcare platforms have systems that have been cobbled together over several decades.

51³Ô¹ÏÍø is uniquely positioned to assist healthcare platforms untangle the ball of twine, and implement elegantly simplistic solutions to better engage with their constituents in an envelope of security.

If your constituents could benefit from greater utility with less friction, we should be talking.
