MAP’s card management services will improve the security and efficiency of your financial institution’s plastic card ordering process. We’ll help you forecast your card issuance requirements, identify potentially suspect cards before re-issuance, and automatically generate card orders and forward them to your card vendor for embossing, encoding, and delivery. Our detailed, intuitive reporting system keeps you informed of all your card issuance activity.
Benefits
Automate the card ordering process:
Automatically generate card and PIN mailer orders as new cardholder records are added to the cardholder database and as existing cards expire and require re-issuance.
Automate re-issuance:
Avoid cardholder service gaps by automatically reissuing eligible cards.
Control your ordering schedule:
Generate and transmit card orders according to your own schedule — daily or multiple times per week. We’ll make it easy and we’ll show you how.
Eliminate redundant data entry:
Use the same cardholder data file for both transaction authorization and card management to eliminate a redundant data entry step and reduce the opportunity for error.
Encourage card usage:
Stimulate card usage by issuing multiple cards linked to a single primary account number. Each card may have a unique embossed name and greeting name.
Choose your vendor:
Select the card vendor that best meets your needs from among the many certified card vendors.
How Card Management Services Work
To take advantage of card management services and facilitate card ordering, your financial institution must maintain a positive file at Visa Debit Processing Service. Card management services automatically generates card orders and, at your option, PIN mailers as new cardholder records are added to the cardholder database or as cards expire and require reissuance. Visa forwards these card orders and PIN mailer requests to the vendor of your choice for card embossing, encoding, and delivery, as appropriate.
