What is Instant Digital Issuance?
The traditional issuance of a physical credit or debit card costs time and money to generate and mail. This can put card providers and processors at a disadvantage. Instant digital issuance removes this detriment by creating a virtual version of the payment method that can be instantly provided to the cardholder.
Research has shown that nearly 70% of cards instantly issued are activated and used within the next five days. Because cards are generated on demand, you preserve spend momentum with existing customers. You also create a positive first impression with new customers. Instant digital issuance means you can increase customer growth, usage, and loyalty.
How Does Push Provisioning Work?
Tokenization, or the replacement of sensitive data with a token, is the backbone of push provisioning. A consumer can download an issuer's mobile application, tap or press a button, and “push” the token associated with the virtual card from the issuer's app into the digital wallet or service they want to associate the card with.
This requires no input of physical card information, eliminating user error. This process also creates a chain of trust that assures the issuer that the owner of the card has authorized the provisioning of their card.
Tokens can be pushed into a variety of participating token requestors, including merchants, digital wallets, or commerce platforms. Issuer apps can offer cardholders special incentives or exclusive offers for integrating with a particular service. Push provisioning also only requires a single point of integration to connect with token requestors; previously, card issuers needed to separately contract and integrate with Card on File merchants and Card Present wallets.
Benefits of Push Provisioning and Instant Digital Issuance Implementation
- Cost effectiveness: Instant digital issuance and push provisioning costs you less time and money than that involved in generating and shipping a physical card to a cardholder.
- Preserved revenue: You avoid any revenue gaps by maintaining cardholder spend. Cardholders receive their cards instantly, and activate them more frequently.
- Simple integration: With just a single point of integration, you can connect with and enable push provisioning into all participating token requestors.
- Immediate service: Upon approval, you generate new cards and provide them to cardholders without delay; credentials can then be loaded into wallets immediately.
- Market expansion: Merchants and/or wallets may pay you for preferred placement and top-of-wallet status to encourage cardholder to sign up for their services.
- Faster implementation: Your cardholders don’t have to wait; instead, they immediately receive credentials and load them to their favorite wallets without the hassle of manual entry.
- Contactless experiences: Give your cardholders a touch-free payment method that aligns with current needs regarding health concerns.
- Extend access: You can allow cardholders to extend access to family members or friends, removing risks involved with sharing physical cards and potentially encouraging new applicants.
- Capture convenience and simplicity: Once your cardholders understand how easy mobile wallets are, it’s unlikely that they would want to return to physical cards.
