JACKSONVILLE, Fla.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Financial technology leader FIS™ (NYSE: FIS) announced FIS Digital Issuance, a first-to-market solution that allows financial institutions to provide newly approved applicants with immediate mobile access to their credit and debit accounts. Avidia Bank is the first financial institution to begin offering the new FIS solution.
Available to FIS credit or debit card processing clients, the solution allows consumers who are approved for a new credit or debit card to use a mobile app to set up their card securely in their phone’s mobile wallet.
