PIEDMONT,S.C. USA, 8 October, 2019 – Matica Corp today announced that First Community Credit Union will be implementing Matica’s instant issuance solution, Cards On The Spot™, in all 40 of its branch locations.

Instant issuance has been an important component for the Missouri-based credit union. First Community has been instantly issuing debit cards since 2007 to provide its members with enhanced service levels and conveniences. Cardholders can simply walk into a First Community branch, open an account and walk out with a fully-activated EMV debit card within minutes. In addition, if a card is lost or compromised, it can be re-issued right away at the branch location.

“First Community was an early adopter of instant issuance debit cards,” said Laura Alfeldt, vice president of marketing with First Community Credit Union. “We were doing it before most consumers even knew it was even possible. We have seen tremendous benefits from it.”

First Community will be implementing Matica’s Cards on the Spot™ instant issuance software as well as Matica’s S3200HD retransfer card printers, which offer 600dpi printing of card images and designs. The Cards on The Spot software provides a complete, browser-based platform that is integrated directly into the core and transaction processing networks – making it seamless and simple to deploy, use and manage for financial institutions.

“We’ve had an outstanding relationship with First Community, as we have partnered with them in the past with other solutions that allow the Credit Union to offer special products and services to their membership,” said Jim Geiger from Matica. “The fact that we can extend this partnership to now offer them a solution for all of their instant issuance needs is something that we are thrilled about. First Community knows instant issuance, their members have come to expect it and value it. We are happy we can help them continue to offer it in a way that will enhance the experience.”

First Community will be implementing Matica’s software and hardware beginning in October/November.
