Level 3 machine-readable attributes represent the pinnacle of security for banknotes. ASSURE™ brings embedded level 3 security to polymer banknotes.
Embedding the security within our substrate, makes it far more durable than alternative surface (print) applied level 3 features. ASSURE™ will be present for the entire life of the banknote.
Polymer banknotes now have the equivalent level 3 security to paper banknotes, coupled with the benefit of the greater durability offered by SAFEGUARD® substrate.
ASSURE™ is a level 3 material and sensor solution which allows central banks to maintain public confidence in the security of their currency.
Benefits
- Secure - only issuing authorities can identify ASSURE™, keeping banknote integrity secret and secure from counterfeiters.
- Durable - embedding ASSURE™ protects it from the wear experienced by print applied level 3 features. This is complemented by the increased durability and longer lifespan of SAFEGUARD® substrate.
- Compatibility - ASSURE™ sensors use a common interface, compatible with nearly all high speed sorters in use today.
Solution
ASSURE™ has been specifically optimised for polymer banknotes.
This represents a significant step forward in banknote security as polymer banknotes now possess equivalent security options to paper substrates, with greater durability.
