The chip card offers the business community the opportunity of reinforcing its position on the international services market, and enables the government to execute its services to the consumer more efficiently and effectively. Furthermore, the chip card offers the possibility of many more new services. The business community, government and consumer organizations in the Netherlands have joined forces in order to let the introduction of the chip card in their services take place in a correct and tuned manner. to support the realization of this goal, they have set up a centre for coordination, information and reference, the Stichting Nationaal Chipcard Platform (NCP).
