The first stage of the launch will include the functionality to release virtual cards followed by issuing of physical cards.

The collaboration will boost the growth of the digital banking market. According to Statista, the fintech market’s largest segment will be digital payments with a total transaction value of $9,471 billion USD (£7,791 billion) in 2023. The average transaction value per user in the neobanking segment is projected to amount to $18.08k USD (£14,8k) in 2023 with the segment expected to show a revenue growth of 28.9 percent in 2024.
