The platform offers a comprehensive suite of card tools for fraud mitigation, digital payments, plastics manufacturing and personalization, loyalty programs, and data analytics.

Sundy, IT officer at Indiana-based State Bank of Burnettsville, explained, “Fraud is a major challenge for card issuers, and the advanced CPS fraud monitoring and mitigation tools have lifted a weight off my shoulders. The migration went smoothly, and adding proactive fraud detection and alerts saves me hours, if not days.”
