CPI Card Group Inc., a payments technology company, has announced a new integration with Nymbus, a provider of cloud-based core banking solutions, to facilitate seamless instant card issuance for financial institutions. This collaboration integrates CPI’s Card@Once® instant issuance solution with the Nymbus Core Platform, enabling financial institutions to print and activate payment cards in-branch quickly using a turnkey solution.
CPI is implementing a unified payments issuance strategy that delivers both integrated digital and physical card solutions through expanded technology integrations. These capabilities aim to provide instant access to cardholder funds while ensuring a seamless user experience. CPI continues to invest in scalable, API-driven platforms designed to empower fintechs, issuers, and technology partners to embed secure physical and digital card functionality and deliver next-generation customer experiences.
This integration, one of three current projects that include PeoplesBank, allows financial institutions to streamline the customer experience by removing the need for manual entry into separate systems, expediting the payment card delivery process, and reducing wait times. Cards can be instantly issued and activated through PIN-based transactions, mobile banking, or interactive voice response (IVR). Additionally, the solution supports in-branch PIN capabilities, enabling customers to receive a fully functional debit card within minutes of their branch visit.
Rob Dixon, Senior Vice President, Digital and Business Development at CPI, stated, “This partnership brings together CPI’s proven instant issuance technology and Nymbus’ modern, cloud-based core platform to empower financial institutions to deliver faster, more efficient service. Together, we’re advancing modern, seamless, and scalable solutions that enhance the customer experience.”
Brandon Petersen, Vice President, Payments and Card Solutions at Nymbus, commented, “We are proud to partner with CPI to offer integrated instant issuance and PIN capabilities directly through the Nymbus platform. This collaboration underscores our mission to modernize banking experiences and equip institutions with technology that drives growth and customer satisfaction.”
Aleda DeMaria, Executive Vice President, Chief Banking Officer at PeoplesBank, shared her institution’s experience, saying, “Our experience with the Nymbus and CPI integration has been excellent. We’ve partnered with CPI since 2017, and the ability to connect directly with the Nymbus platform will enable us to strengthen that partnership and stay on top of emerging physical and digital card technologies. The ease of printing a card directly from the Nymbus UI creates a simple and seamless process, which enhances our best in class in-branch experience. It saves time for both our associates and our customers, while delivering the convenience people expect today.”
The combined solution addresses an increasing demand among banks and credit unions to embed secure physical and digital card capabilities directly within their platforms. By integrating with Nymbus’ API-first architecture, CPI expands its SaaS-based Card@Once solution to financial institutions seeking to provide instant, secure, and convenient services for their customers.
