The evolution of Instant Issuance

Instant Issuance has evolved and gained traction worldwide over the past two decades.

What was once seen as a nice-to-have has become the standard. Today, convenience and immediacy are the norms.

Cardholders are looking for the perfect balance of physical branches and digital services in their banking experience to match the convenience and choice they are used to in their everyday lives.

Financial Institutions are now focusing on providing the best user experience for their cardholders. So getting them up and running quickly with a new payment card is vital in a world where everyone wants everything now.

Full Account Opening

• Impress new account holders with an instantly issued payment card.

Credit unions and savings banks
In our ever-changing, customer-oriented digital world, enabling financial institutions to issue and activate new cards fast is key. With our cloud-based architecture, financial institutions of any size can go live with their in-branch issuance solution in as little as six weeks.
