A new study from Juniper Research, foremost experts in the payments market, found that the number of payment cards issued via digital platforms will reach 1.3 billion annually by 2027, from just 500 million in 2023. This growth of 170% reflects strong interest in improving the way users access and replace cards from issuers. This is in the context of strong competition between issuers from digital-only banks and new fintechs offering card services.
