PCBs and Electronic Assemblies for Payment & Identity Devices

Payment and Identity Electronics Manufacturing Solutions

PICA supports payment and identity device manufacturers with flexible circuits, rigid PCBs, rigid-flex designs, PCB assembly, and compact electronic modules for secure, durable, and high-reliability applications. From biometric readers and RFID/NFC systems to mobile payment hardware, government ID devices, and wearable payment technology, we help customers build electronics designed for miniaturization, durability, and trusted performance.

Payment and Identity Applications We Support

Biometric Payment Devices

Fingerprint readers, iris scanners, and other biometric payment systems require precision electronics with secure authentication mechanisms and anti-tamper protection. PICA develops compact, reliable flex and rigid PCBs that safeguard sensitive data while delivering fast, accurate identification.

 

NFC/RFID Cards & Readers

Whether for payment cards, transport access, or secure ID cards, PICA designs electronics that protect sensitive data and maintain consistent performance over years of use, even in demanding environments.

Mobile Payment Hardware

Tap-to-pay terminals, readers, and mobile modules demand encryption and tamper detection at the hardware level. PICA’s flex and rigid PCBs integrate these protections without sacrificing size, speed, or reliability.

Government ID Solutions

For ePassports, driver’s licenses, and national ID cards, security and durability are critical. PICA manufactures flex and rigid PCBs and embedded modules that meet strict government standards for identity protection.

Wearable Payments

From rings to wristbands and patches, wearable payment devices require embedded secure modules in a small, comfortable form. PICA provides miniaturized flex and rigid PCB designs that enable safe, seamless transactions anywhere.

PICA Manufacturing Solutions delivers the precision, security, and durability that payment and identity applications demand. Our expertise ensures every transaction and identification is backed by trusted, high-performance electronics.

Build trust into every transaction. Fill out our form to see how PICA can deliver secure, compact PCBs for your payment and identity solutions.
