You have no time to read this page, so download our infographic.
#1 – Customers want to use their mobile app for all banking and payment needs
Customers' trips to the branch should be limited to financial advice.
For everything else, such as ordering a physical or digital card, setting up a PIN code, adding a card to a mobile wallet – the mobile application is where everything should happen, instantaneously and seamlessly.
People expect their bank to provide them with an up-to-date digital experience, from account opening all the way to payments.
#2 – More transactions, greater revenue for issuers deploying a Thales Digital First experience for their cardholders!
With so many digital cards available for mobile wallets on smartphones and wearables and with eMerchants replacing card-on-file data systems with EMV token storage, there's a big incentive for customers to set up the ideal card for each purchasing channel.
And with a more significant number of cards to choose from, cardholders are likely to make more transactions.
The good news?
Because Thales Digital First enables you to issue these cards instantly, it increases the activation rate and virtually wipes out activation abandonment.
There's more.
Customers welcome the chance to get a new type of card they can order and receive straight away and use the next second.
#3 – Instant services and instantaneity in card issuance translate into the "top of wallet" effect
Cardholders have a choice when they own multiple payments cards.
So issuers need to ensure their card is "top of wallet" and the main one used for transactions.
Digital First by Thales means that when customers order a card directly via their mobile app and get it straight away, that new card is instantly at the top of their wallet.
