In an increasingly competitive market, customer acquisition and retention represent a real challenge for banks. Giving cardholders the opportunity to customize their bank card with a personal photograph is a real differentiation factor.
Making the card exclusive with a personalized photo strengthens the customer’s attachment, much in the same way as customizing the mobile phone or PC screen. When cardholders have several cards they are more likely to pay with their favorite one. As a result, Allynis CardLikeMe can help move the card to the top of the wallet.

and edit the picture as well as the associated secure printing services.
