Payment card manufacturer Dynamics Inc. has purchased a state-of-the-art facility in the Pittsburgh area that will serve as its world headquarters.

The 115,000 square foot facility will contain approximately 100,000 square feet of conditioned clean room engineering and manufacturing space. Dynamics plans to configure part of the space to be able to offer card issuers personalization of its next-generation magnetic stripe cards under the Visa, MasterCard and American Express networks. The building will also contain Dynamics’ administrative and R&D departments.

Bank customers are responsible for detecting fraud 82% of the time, according to Information Security Media Group’s 2012 Faces of Fraud Survey.

Banks responding to the survey reported that the three leading causes of fraud they experienced were card-not-present – 56% – data breach at a retailer or processor – 53% – and point-of-sales skimming – 47% – all root causes over which the consumer has very little control.
