Our way
More than two million users have registered their personal ID in an identification system by SECANDA. Once they have registered, they can use it securely and as they wish for a large number of connected access and payment systems. With their personal chipcard or app – linked to their central ID.
Every year, our customers need well over half a million new and individually coded chipcards. They receive updates, upgrades, new system components and the security of knowing that we are always reliably there for them whenever we are needed.
In the case of payment and access systems at universities and technical universities in Germany and Switzerland, SECANDA is already the clear market leader today with its central chipcard and a market share of more than 80%. But that is not enough: we want to make our central ID – and hence the identification system of SECANDA – the standard for increasing numbers of organisations, companies and communities. And new registered users are being added every day.

Group companies
Group structure – or how many companies become one big team
SECANDA is here. Since the summer of 2022, InterCard AG Informationssysteme has been called SECANDA AG.
Since the end of 2022, our subsidiary InterCard GmbH Kartensysteme is also called SECANDA, from spring 2023 even together with our subsidiary IntraKey. Together, the two companies will become our largest subsidiary: SECANDA Systems AG. With an integrated team, shared customers, a single face-to-the-customer and even better integrated systems.
And our new acquisition MADSENSE S.L. will also be called SECANDA Systems S.L. from summer 2022.
With the software developers of SECANDA Systems S.L., we are not only developing the next generation of ID systems. At the same time, the company is also our new sales location for Spain and Portugal. What we have succeeded in doing in Germany and Switzerland, we shall also succeed in doing there: Market leadership in the field of payment and identification systems at universities and colleges.
Our new acquisition H. Schomäcker GmbH has ideally complemented our business since autumn 2022.
In the 2021 financial year, we had already further streamlined our Group structure in order to better bundle our strengths. At the beginning of the year, Multicard GmbH was merged with InterCard GmbH Kartensysteme. The successful Multicard team is now strengthening the sales activities there.
In the second half of 2021, we merged our Swiss subsidiaries Polyright and Multi-Access, which are based in Zurich and Sion. SECANDA last held 100% of the shares in both companies. Both companies, which were competitors in the past, had already merged their locations and worked together successfully. Numerous migration projects have already resulted from the new cooperation.

Business development below own expectations
The Swiss subsidiary of SECANDA AG (formerly InterCard) is currently experiencing weaker business development than recently expected. Furthermore, some projects in the Physical Access & Time business unit will be postponed until 2023 due to delayed material deliveries. As a result, we expect only a slightly positive result for the Group for the full year 2022.
After the current takeover of the most important market companion in the German university market to date and with the merger of our largest subsidiaries in Germany, we expect rising revenues and a significant improvement in profitability again for the 2023 financial year. The realignment will not only result in synergies and savings, but also in potentials from the joint use of technologies and the joint market development in Germany.

Profitable growth
Growth ties up resources. Nevertheless, for SECANDA growth and profit are not a contradiction. Accordingly, in our organic growth and in our complementary acquisitions we have always seen it as important to ensure that profit should remain the basis for our activities in addition to that growth.
Within the concern we shall achieve revenues of well in excess of EUR 20 million in the near future, and with a high degree of creditworthiness and wide financial scope. Furthermore, we shall also be prepared for volatile business conditions in uncertain times.

Acquisitions and concern structure
Since our stock market launch in 2006 we have joined together with our most important competitors. In this way we can increase our market shares, combine our expertise and continuously offer new functions and features for our central ID, the chipcard and the app.
We want to win over additional companies for our group and our vision. At the same time, we are becoming more and more efficient on the way to our shared goal: a personal and secure ID from SECANDA – for every user and all systems.
