Looking to eliminate the wait time for their members to receive a card, the South Carolina-based credit union plans to roll out the instant issuance program to its 15 branches throughout the state.
“After reviewing multiple applications for instant issuance, we chose to implement DCS because of their user-friendly interface, compliant security and reputation for superior customer service and support,” said Robin Kelly, card services supervisor of SAFE Federal Credit Union. “As a credit union that is committed to member service, we see instant issuance as a way to give our members a more convenient way to receive their debit card.”

By enabling them to use it immediately, financial institutions see an increase in card penetration, activation and usage – ultimately increasing interchange revenue. It is also a great acquisition and retention tool since it makes a very positive impression with new and existing members/customers.”
