The virtual cards enable Fellow Finance customers to pay online and in-store using Apple Pay and Google Pay digital wallets. Relevant card data will be available in the Fellow Finance App. A branded physical card will also be offered. To further boost customer experience and loyalty, Fellow Finance plans to add what it terms an innovative cashback feature.
Juho Putkonen, Development Manager at Fellow Finance says: “We at Fellow Finance have had two main objectives regarding the credit card product. Create the best possible customer onboarding experience for the actual card and its mobile wallet. And secondly to create a truly rewarding reward programme for our customers.”
