Creating a payment card with a unique look and feel is a way for a business to let their brand shine. Whether the company wants to allow their end users to create custom card designs or they want to provide a high-end card experience, cards are an important part of the experience for any FinTech or company launching an embedded banking product.

Synctera provides all of the components companies need to launch a card program for their end users. As a part of that, we have offered companies building with Synctera a customizable on-demand card printing option with no minimum order quantities. 

However, some of our customers have more varied needs and are interested in a wider range of card materials, local market options, and economies of scale for large purchase quantities.

To provide our customers with these new capabilities, we have partnered with Giesecke+Devrient (G+D), a global SecurityTech company providing innovative solutions for card and digital payments as well as trusted software for the financial industry. As a technology leader and payment card issuance provider G+D specializes in premium quality cards to create truly differentiated customer experiences.

This partnership allows Synctera to offer more options to fit the unique needs of our customers.

G+D offers an end-to-end card fulfillment solution including the production, personalization, and shipping of cards. Additionally, using G+D as your card provider with Synctera provides two unique benefits:

1. Ability to manufacture and ship locally in a variety of regions globally: For customers with end users located outside of the US, the ability to fulfill card orders locally enables them to cut down on shipping costs and reduce the time it takes for end users to get cards in their hand.
2. A wide range of premium quality card printing materials: G+D offers card material options such as standard or recycled PVC, metal, polylactic acid, ocean bound plastic, biometric, and LED options.

G+D’s solutions are fully integrated into the Synctera Platform, making it easy for companies building FinTech or embedded banking products to seamlessly onboard, issue and ship cards, and monitor for risk and fraud, all from a single set of APIs. 

We are excited to partner with G+D to not only provide companies with all of the components they need to build a scalable and compliant card product, but to also provide them with the flexibility needed to fit the unique needs of their customers.
