What types of card campaigns does Persado support?
Persado supports the full card lifecycle — acquisition (pre-approvals, applications, reward promotions, introductory APR), activation (first use incentives, spend thresholds, mobile enrollment), retention (balance transfers, rate match, loyalty upgrades, annual fee justification), and cross-sell (product upgrades, add-on services, insurance, reward tiers). Every campaign type generates compliant, scored variants optimized for your specific card portfolio.
How does Persado handle card-specific compliance requirements?
Every variant is validated against TILA, Reg Z, UDAAP, ECOA, and TCPA during generation — not as a post-production review. The system also encodes your custom card lending guidelines, approved terminology, and disclosure requirements. Result: 90% fewer compliance rejections and no consent order risk from language errors.
Can Persado handle co-brand card campaigns with partner brand requirements?
Yes. Co-brand campaigns require dual brand voice compliance — your institution's guidelines AND the partner brand's. Persado encodes both brand kits and validates every variant against both sets of rules simultaneously. This eliminates the back-and-forth approval cycles that typically add weeks to co-brand campaign timelines.
How does this work with our existing card acquisition team and agency?
Persado augments your existing team — it doesn't replace them. Your strategists submit briefs in any format. Persado generates scored, compliant variants with full rationale. Your team reviews and approves. Agencies receive production-ready assets with source files. The result is faster cycles, higher performance, and fewer revision rounds.
