Summary
Cards make up one of the most outsourced business operations in the financial services sector. Indeed, a large numbers of banks and card issuers have either outsourced specific functions or their entire their card operations. The primary factors driving such practice have been largely similar to those recorded in the outsourcing sector in general, and include cost reduction, gaining a comparative advantage, access to cheap/skilled labor, a lack of in-house expertise and risk management advantages.

In addition, there is an increased focus on value added services such as behavior analysis and fraud prevention schemes.
