Abstract: A card printing verification system is disclosed. The system includes a security input device for receiving an identity credential that embodies user identification data and corresponds to a card user. There is also an identity verification module that verifies the identity of the user against a fraud detection scheme. There is also a compliance module for checking whether the card user is found in a prohibited persons list. When both evaluations indicate that there is little to no risk in authorizing a financial transaction card, various customizations are applied thereto and issued for immediate use.
