As users demand faster, more flexible payment experiences, virtual cards have become a core part of fintech infrastructure. With a virtual card issuing API, fintechs can offer customers instant access to digital payment tools—without the delays or cost of physical card issuance.

Whether you’re building a Web3 wallet, crypto exchange, or embedded finance platform, Striga helps you issue branded, secure virtual crypto cards at scale.

Why issue virtual cards for your users?

Virtual cards are digital-first debit cards that live in mobile wallets like Apple Pay or Google Pay. They're safer, easier to manage, and ideal for users who want real-time access to their crypto and fiat balances—without jumping between apps or wallets.

Striga’s virtual cards API makes it simple for fintechs to:

  • Launch fully branded card programmes
  • Enable just-in-time crypto-to-fiat conversions
  • Set spending controls and transaction rules
  • Issue cards instantly upon KYC completion

This gives your users immediate access to spend their crypto—just like a traditional bank card, but with none of the friction.

Manage card controls, limits, and budgets in real time

With a virtual card issuing API, your business can give users full control over how, where, and when they spend. Through your app, users can:

  • Set transaction limits
  • Freeze or unfreeze their cards
  • Restrict card usage to specific merchants or categories
  • Track real-time transaction history

You can also design these controls from your dashboard to support targeted customer segments or user tiers.

Enable secure, instant payments with a virtual crypto card

Traditional card issuing workflows are slow and clunky. Virtual cards issued through Striga are live in minutes, giving users an immediate way to transact without needing a physical card.

When paired with a virtual crypto card, the experience is even more seamless:
Users convert crypto to fiat automatically at checkout, while Striga handles the compliance and liquidity behind the scenes.

The result? A crypto-native lifestyle that feels like traditional banking—but works better.

Build and scale with a single integration

Striga’s virtual card issuing API is designed for developers and product teams that want flexibility without building core banking infrastructure. It supports:

  • Card lifecycle management
  • Secure just-in-time funding
  • Real-time fraud protection
  • 3DS and tokenised payments
  • Multi-currency support

With compliance, settlement, and KYC handled by Striga, you can focus on building your product—not managing vendor relationships or licensing.

Virtual cards are no longer a luxury—they’re an expectation. With Striga’s virtual card issuing API, you can go live quickly, scale with confidence, and deliver a secure, user-first payment experience.

Offer your users virtual crypto cards that work globally. Reduce operational complexity. And get to market with a solution that’s ready for scale.
