BASINGSTOKE, United Kingdom, Nov. 17, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — A new study by global tech strategists Juniper Research has revealed that the modern card issuing platforms market will increase from $1.8 billion in 2025 to $4.2 billion by 2030; driven by rising interest from traditional banks trying to keep pace with innovative fintech offerings.
Juniper Research identified several key trends driving demand in modern card issuing platforms over the next five years, including the rise of Card-as-a-Service which enables disruptors such as Monzo, Uber, and Coinbase to seamlessly integrate card issuance within their ecosystems. Additionally, regulatory support for Open Banking and digital-first solutions, such as tokenisation and push provisioning, is propelling growth in key regions.
The research also identified leading modern card issuance players as increasingly turning to data-driven strategies to build smarter, more personalised offerings and strengthen client engagement.
