Spanish term

adquiriencia

Spanish to English Bus/Financial Finance (general) card processing
From a request for proposals for a new card processing technology that will handle all card-related transactions (credit, debit, etc.) for an international network of banks, based in Venezuela.

"La solucion propuesta debe proporcionar funcionalidades orientadas a la administracion del negocio de tarjetas, TANTO EMISION COMO ADQUIRIENCIA, de forma agil, flexible y segura."

The capitalized phrase appears in a few different places. At the moment, I have translated it as "both issuing them and acquiring them." Have I understood this term correctly, or am I missing something specific to this field? And if I do have the correct meaning, is there a more appropriate/formal way to say this (US English)?

Thanks in advance.

Discussion

Yvette Neisser Moreno (asker) Sep 5, 2012:
Thank you Thank you all for your very helpful suggestions and explanations. I liked Edward's suggested phrasing "issuance and delivery," but since it wasn't clear to me whether "adquiriencia," in this doc, referred to delivery or something like acquiring cards (for a business or bank), I went with "issuance and acquisition." Ultimately, I still wasn't totally confident about my word choice, but I had to submit the translation by the deadline! Nonetheless, since the document mentioned the manufacturing of cards as well as processing transactions, it seems like "acquisition" might be appropriate.

delivery

I think you've got the meaning right, but would go for "issuance and delivery" to describe the process from the company to the customer.

processing

acquisition, which relates to credit card merchant activity, is the proper term, but I think here what they are referring to is a system that is effective from the point of view of card issuance as well as for the card transaction processing aspect.

acquisition

The proposed solution shall provide fuctions aimed towards agile, flexible and secure management of the (credit?) card business, for both its issue and acquisition sectors.

You can probably fix it up a bit, but this is pretty close to what you want.

By the way, I think they thought they had a marvellous opportunity to make up a new word. I mean: "adquiriencia"?
