Managed card issuance services: Boosting payment cards to the top of your customers' wallets

No matter if your customers have opted for a credit or debit card. Today’s payment cards offer much more than the key to fast and secure payment. Personalization, card material, and other physical and virtual services are essential for the cardholder and the card-issuing bank.

As a result, the entire process of card issuance is now moving into strategic focus. And we can manage this for you.

The issuance journey

Customer onboarding, card personalization, card delivery, activation, welcome packs, and outstanding carriers are just a few of the touchpoints on the journey ahead. They offer the enormous potential to make a difference to your customers and win against the competition. And indispensably, they also help you delight and develop an emotional bond with your cardholders.

Personalization is about more than just the payment card. How you personalize other parts of the experience can impact the entire issuance process, from tailored, full-color card carriers and envelopes to premium, high-end unboxing experiences, and digital solutions to enhance your processes. When physical and digital issuance solutions work together, every customer’s every payment moment begins to shine.

Leverage one of the most enduring and powerful elements of your relationships with your customers – the payment card

Modern banking customers require secure, convenient, speedy services from their bank that are configured around their needs and lifestyle. Take a closer look at how our personalization solutions enable this customer-centric approach.

 

Personalization may seem a straightforward process, where a card body is updated with all customer identifying information. Still, hundreds of opportunities exist to enhance and optimize the payment experience. It could be that you want to project a sleek, modern image through flat personalization or are looking to create a socially-conscious payment card to help make payments more inclusive or hundreds of other options. No matter how you personalize your card, these details can be crucial to fulfilling your goals. 
 
Our wealth of options allows you to offer a payment card to your entire customer base that embodies your brand. With our personalization solutions, a wide range and multiple combinations of materials and production options are available. 

  • Unlimited fonts and layouts 
  • Vertical orientation 
  • Nearly unlimited variety of colors to fit various card designs 
  • Special card body materials, such as metal or eco-friendly materials 
  • Highly durable graphics 

Future thinking

Always keeping an eye on innovation, arguably the most comprehensive personalization options we offer are Drop on Demand (DoD) and 3D printing. DoD allows you to print a card customized to the individual customer. With DoD, cards can be configured with individual customer graphical data, including photos or signatures, for increased tailored appeal. But also, with the fast digitalizing and changing environment, innovations in the area of intelligent issuance and digital factories are essential areas of future development.

Global reach with a local touch

With our global coverage of 22 personalization sites, as well as office locations and partners, G+D is a reliable partner for our clients and potential partners as managed or central issuance. Our state-of-the-art Business Continuity Management provides the utmost flexibility to get your business going – also in difficult times.
