Fiserv Launches Mobile Card Management App, CardValet

Fiserv Launches Mobile Card Management App, CardValet

Thumbnail image for FiservLogo.jpg

The mobile card management game just got a big new player.

Fiserv launched CardValet, a turnkey mobile app that gives cardholders significant awareness of and control over how and when their cards are used.

And for financial institutions, Fiserv said the app will improve customer engagement and help reduce fraud losses.

The app is available for download from the Apple App Store and Google Play Store, and lets cardholders turn their cards on and off, set spending limits, and monitor and receive alerts on transactions by category.

Jayne Berthelsen, SVP of market and product development, Credit & Debit Solutions for Fiserv talked about the in-house piloting program for the technology that helps guide development.
“Especially in light of the recent high-profile security breaches,” Berthelsen said, “our associates told us that they felt much more confident that if unauthorized transactions occurred on their card, they could detect the activity and turn their card off immediately in order to prevent fraudulent transactions.”
The company said it plans to bring CardValet’s card managing functionality to its solutions in other, digital and mobile, channels.
Founded in 1984 and based in Brookfield, Wisconsin, Fiserv last demoed at FinovateFall 2014. The company will present its latest technology at FinovateEurope 2015 in London next month. Find out more about the upcoming conference here.

Fiserv Shakes Up How Banks Interact with Their Customers

Fiserv Shakes Up How Banks Interact with Their Customers
FiservLogo

This post is part of our live coverage of FinovateFall 2014.

Fiserv demonstrated how it is helping banks communicate with their customers:
“Fiserv is demonstrating what next generation customer-to-bank interactions will look like, particularly in a mobile-first world. The ‘App of the Future’ innovation based on the Mobiliti™ platform assembles three distinct consumer interaction methods – Live Chat, Secure Mailbox & Messaging,  and Click-to-Call – and makes them contextual (i.e. providing context information to the representative of the bank as part of the interaction). All inside the mobile banking application. 
This innovation has a number of benefits to consumers and financial institutions, including: increased efficiencies of interactions, more secure than various existing authentication methods, and portrays the banks’ brand as helpful, modern, and compelling.”
Presenting: Andy Barnett, Sr. Technical Sales Consultant, Mimi Joy, Mobile Account Specialist, and David Carr, Innovations Manager
