Agreement to Produce, Support, and Resell the Obscurity Card

‍
SAN ANTONIO, TX & MOUNT LAUREL, NJ – Aries Fraud Solutions announced today that it has entered into a formal agreement with Protec Secure Card (doing business as PSC) to produce, support, and resell the Aries Obscurity Card. Under the agreement, PSC will serve as an approved manufacturing and personalization partner for the Obscurity Card for central issuance. 
The Obscurity Card is a patented debit and credit card structure designed to prevent card-not-present fraud by separating credentials used for physical transactions from those used in digital and ecommerce environments. The solution is designed to integrate into existing card programs without requiring new hardware, software installations, or changes in cardholder behavior. 
Through this agreement, PSC will support card production, personalization, and program support, and will also offer the Obscurity Card as part of its portfolio to financial institutions seeking preventive approaches to card fraud. The partnership is intended to accelerate adoption by enabling faster implementation timelines and providing institutions with a proven manufacturing partner already familiar with the Obscurity Card structure. 
“Protec Secure Card has a strong reputation for responsiveness, technical expertise, and execution,” said Lon Varns, President of Aries Fraud Solutions. “This agreement gives financial institutions confidence that the Obscurity Card can be supported at scale and implemented efficiently across both central issuance and instant issuance environments.” 
PSC brings extensive experience supporting complex card programs for banks, credit unions, and fintechs. By partnering with Aries, PSC expands its ability to offer differentiated card security solutions that address the growing risk associated with card-not-present fraud. “We see strong demand from financial institutions looking for practical, preventive solutions to fraud,” said Brad Cones, VP of sales for PSC. “The Obscurity Card aligns well with our manufacturing capabilities and our focus on helping issuers move quickly without adding operational burden.” The agreement comes as financial institutions continue to face rising fraud losses driven by ecommerce growth and faster payment channels. Aries and PSC expect the partnership to support growing interest from banks and credit unions seeking proactive fraud mitigation strategies.
