Wilson added: “This solution allows us to evolve the platform to support the growth we are experiencing with our card portfolio.

“By partnering with Fraedom, we aim to alleviate the complexity associated with managing a card programme for our end customers and at the same time drive adoption and automation of processes and payments.”
