Tap to Activate

Increase speed-to-spend with just a tap

Say goodbye to delays and transform how customers activate their payment cards. A simple, secure tap on their mobile device can reduce call center volume and the need for additional apps.

Why Choose Us?

The ability to activate new payment cards quickly and easily means that cardholders can start spending sooner than later. While online activation and VRU/IVR methods get the job done, Tap to Activate is the next evolution. It’s a “phygital” option that blends the physical and digital experience into a single user-friendly interaction. 

Our Tap to Activate solution removes friction from card activation by empowering cardholders to activate their cards instantly, right from their mobile device.

Frictionless Activation

Customers activate cards instantly via NFC. No need for calls, codes, or additional apps.

Seamless Integration

Easily integrates with your existing mobile app using our secure SDK.

Enhanced Security

One-time-use security tokens and encrypted data ensure secure, fraud-resistant activation.

Lower Operational Costs

Reduce call center volume and eliminate manual activation steps.

Superior Customer Experience

Fast, intuitive activation boosts customer satisfaction and keeps your card top-of-wallet.

Transform the Card Activation Experience

How It Works for Issuing Banks

ABCorp developed a custom applet with a unique token in it that is applied to EMV chips during the card personalization process. The issuing bank can interact with that applet during the card activation cycle to process the token. As an added layer of security, the token can be cleared after activation for one-time use only.

Eliminates Barriers to Immediate Card Use

Simplify the activation process with a seamless, tap-to-activate solution—no calls, codes, or delays.

Integrates with Any Mobile Platform

OS-agnostic and works effortlessly within the issuing bank’s existing mobile app, eliminating the need for additional apps.

Reduces Call Volume and Lowers Costs

Cut costly support calls by offering a fast, self-service activation experience.

The entire process is conducted through the mobile app of the issuing bank’s choice, eliminating an extra step during the activation process.

Effortless and Secure
