TSYS Partners With Serverside Group for Digital Card Solution

 TSYS

Companies Launch TSYS Card Shop, an ‘On-Demand’ Card Production Solution

COLUMBUS, Ga. & LONDON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--TSYS today announced a partnership agreement with Serverside Group to launch TSYS Card Shop, a digital card fulfillment and marketing solution that combines ‘on-demand’ manufacturing processes with industry-leading card management and customization capabilities.
“We’re thrilled to have delivered technology to help TSYS realize this vision.”
By enabling client financial institutions to design and manufacture cards on-demand, TSYS Card Shop removes the need to stock pre-manufactured cards in inventory — a requirement that increases risk, ties up capital and increases over-production, transportation, storage and inventory management costs. Through TSYS Card Shop, payments cards are only created when cardholders request them, regardless of batch size.
“TSYS Card Shop’s on-demand fulfillment capabilities, combined with its digital card management and design services, open up a whole range of operational efficiencies and new marketing opportunities for issuers,” said Rick St. John, group executive for output services, TSYS. “Working with Serverside has enabled us to build a solution where even one card created for one consumer can be profitable.”
“TSYS Card Shop is a next-generation, end-to-end digital card production and marketing platform that has helped move the payment card industry from a series of offline, analog processes to an integrated, digital network running between the cardholder and their financial plastic,” said Gareth Jones, senior vice president, Americas, for Serverside Group. “We’re thrilled to have delivered technology to help TSYS realize this vision.”
Through the online TSYS Card Shop interface, issuers of all sizes can launch stock and customized card programs within days rather than weeks. For more information, including a whitepaper, visit http://www.tsysoutputservices.com.
