Worse yet, 3 out of 10 impacted organizations failed to recover any lost funds. As bad actors grow increasingly bold and sophisticated, a conventional reactive strategy is no longer sufficient. For today’s banks and credit unions, it’s critical to take a comprehensive, pre-emptive approach to fraud prevention that incorporates both predictive and preventative methods to attack the problem upstream before the fraudsters strike.

In fact, a 2021 CivicScience report found that the biggest determinant for choosing an FI remains how close a physical branch is to a customer’s or member’s home. With these expectations factored in, it’s no wonder instant issuance continues to grow as a popular option. n Aite-Novarica survey of 139 banks and credit unions found that 63% of them currently offer either in-house or SaaS-based in-branch instant issuance.

This is why adopting a new solution like instant issuance, which allows cardholders to visit a branch and walk out with a new or replacement card in minutes, shouldn’t mean financial institutions have to compromise on the quality of their card design.
