5. Closed loop - Challenges
Immediate term
01 02
Constraints due to CCH closed Vendor lock-in for technology interfaces of AFC loop solution providers
► High costs incurred due to usage of CCH given by closed
► No scalability to multiple applications (outside transit)
because of using proprietary solutions
► Limited choice of products - transit specific CCHS
► High costs of ownership
5
► External interfaces with 3rd party smart card host
► Interfaces of AFC with CCHS
► Card and terminal interfaces
► SAM interface specifications
► Current terminal specs have limited card-type reading
capability
► Vendor specific card data definitions
► Risk of other transit operators forced to go with the
same vendor because of lock-in
► Interoperability of standards being replaced with
mandating the use of same vendor’s solution
loop solution providers
► Deterrence in revenue
opportunities for allowing
business partners such as FIs and
retail business owners
► Cannot adopt open-loop EMV payments for easy
acceptance outside transit
► Cannot allow multiple financial agencies to promote
card with revenue-accrual outside transit
Limitations to promote transit card as multi-purpose
card
Limited options for transit operators to adopt
Other transit operator’s card
