As the stakes get higher in the modern financial environment, the issuance of credit and the replacement of cards are becoming the battlefront of institutional trust. Due to the dramatic increase in digital transactions, opportunities to commit fraud have risen correspondingly, and financial institutions must reconsider their approach to accommodating compromised cards, issuing new credit and remediating fraud. Outdated, siloed systems can create gaps that delay response time, pose higher operational risk, and cause customers to lose trust. The industry has reached a turning point, either adapt to become integrated and real-time or get left behind by continuously advanced threats.
