Cutting the cards - card processing

09 May 2005

Xansa's partnership with Barclaycard and Sue Roberts, banking consultant at Xansa, feature in this article reproduced from Banking Technology magazine.

Executive summary

Card processing has long ceased to be a core activity for banks, but in outsourcing they have to decide whether they are looking for cost savings or additional services.

The trend for financial institutions to outsource card processing has been gathering pace in the last few years and it shows no sign of slowing down any time soon. But in a world of ever-increasing cost pressures, crossborder expansion and competition for customers, it is no longer enough simply to outsource processing to one provider and keep it there.

European organisations, even the biggest, have very small card bases so they're incurring bigger expense to keep up with market demands
