Stratos’ Bluetooth Connected Card Digitizes the Card Issuance System

This post is part of our live coverage of FinovateSpring 2015.

StratosLogoStratos debuted its digital card issuance platform:

Stratos is reinventing your wallet and cards like the iPod and iTunes reinvented your CD collection. Stratos consolidates your debit, credit, loyalty and gift cards into one dynamic card. Stratos Card works in conjunction with Stratos Digital Card Issuance Platform which will debut virtual card issuance, allowing cards to be downloaded instantly, digitizing the physical fulfillment system that issues billions of cards in the U.S. The platform analyzes card-usage trends and interactively engages card members. Stratos works with the mobile lockscreen, making real-time location or history-based suggestions, and offers patented security card-lockdown and insights for a superior customer experience. Its dual stripe technology ensures 100% compatibility with existing card-acceptance infrastructure.
