CREDIT CARDS / ISSUING
ADDRESSED TO
Our solutions are addressed to Credit Card Issuers. Cards Issuers are Financial Institutions that have agreements with the main Card Brands (VISA, MasterCard, AmEx etc.) in order to produce compliant card products for their customers. Since the introduction of the PSD2 directive (EU2015/2366), more companies will be able to provide services directly to the banks’ customers either as an AISP (Account Information Service Provider), or a PISP (Payment Initiation Service Provider) and will compete with Banks.
OVERVIEW
Cards Issuing processes include the product management (defining, producing and delivering the card products depending on their characteristics – e.g. debit, credit, pre-paid, virtual), the marketing function on acquiring and retaining customers (campaigns, promotions, segmentation and loyalty programs), the customers management (applications-scoring, account set-up and management and customer service-all channels), the transactions processing (c/h authorisation, clearing and settlement, the risk and fraud management, charge backs), the customer billing (monthly statement, pricing policy) and the collections.
CSS, since its foundation, develops customised software solutions of various complexity in order to support the cards issuing functions of a major bank in Greece. Through the years we have developed a solid knowledge of the card business concepts and we can now develop customised solutions that can fulfil most of the needs of any card issuer.
