Consumer reliance on stored payment methods continues to rise, making it essential for financial institutions to secure the primary payment position for zero- friction checkouts. According to the FIS Global Payments Report 2023, U.S. consumers display a remarkable attachment to the use of cards, accounting for more than two-thirds of POS transaction value and half of e-commerce spend.

"Strivve is revolutionizing digital card engagement for issuers and cardholders alike. With our industry-leading Top of Wallet CardSavr platform and the new CardLinks Engage tool, issuers can seamlessly drive online card usage by integrating personalized, secure links into their existing engagement campaigns," said Chris Hopen, Strivve co-founder and CEO. “This allows cardholders to quickly and securely link their payment card to their favorite online merchants, reducing friction and enhancing their overall payment experience.”
