Card issuing providers

Card issuing providers let a business create its own physical or virtual debit, prepaid or credit cards on Visa or Mastercard — for expense management, fintech apps, marketplace payouts or loyalty. A licensed issuer or BIN sponsor bank holds the scheme membership, while the issuing processor handles authorisations, spending controls and tokenisation for mobile wallets.
