Physical cards generated through the platform can be customised for designs and shipped within few days. However, the cards can be instantly used via mobile wallets.
In addition, the platform allows programming of cards to implement certain limitations such as spending controls, approved merchant categories and per-user bookkeeping.
Moreover, it also automates operational tasks, including dispute handling, card replacement and generation of custom reports.
A statement from the payments firm read: “Traditionally, card issuance has involved extensive development time, complex requirements, long-term contracts, and significant upfront fees.
