FNBO Launches Instant Card Issuance to Digital Wallets

New Offering Delivers Instant Account Credentials Straight to Customers’ Digital Wallets

OMAHA, Neb.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--FNBO has announced the launch of its instant digital issuance capabilities in partnership with Visa, a world leader in digital payments. The technology solution enhances the customer experience by providing instant account credential delivery to a user’s mobile wallet in one seamless experience, without the need to download an app.
