Credit Cards

Paying with a credit card is a prime example of fully digital transaction processing without media disruptions. For the sake of consistency, providers in this financial product segment should also design application, decision-making and administrative processes completely digitally in order to ensure maximum efficiency and customer friendliness.

The afb Credit Management Solution (afb-CMS) enables financial services providers to operate their credit card transactions at the highest level of automation across all sales channels. afb-CMS consistently maps all processes – from product selection and application to automated credit decisions and processing and account creation through to contract management and accounting – in an end-to-end web-based solution.

This solution allows financial services providers to control their entire credit card business by means of standardised, highly automated processes.
