THE CARD ISSUING LIFECYCLE

Card issuing is broken and we're here to fix it

1

Prolonged go-live timelines

Contact a competitor to see it first hand. At least 4 weeks before you know if there is a product and at least a year before you see a single card.

2

Opaque pricing

After your initial 4 week wait of signing NDAs and dealing with junior sales personnel, offers typically involve an obscene up front cost for practically no value and misplaced pricing for the size of your business.

3

Unclear licensing requirements

Issuers may obscure requirements to become a licensed agent or hold VASP licenses especially if crypto assets are involved in the flow. Small card programs may fly under the radar but this does not set you up for success.

4

Horrendous documentation

When you do find a product after looking through the jungle, you are most likely baffled with documentation to create a payment credential that feels like it was written in 1980 by world war 2 veterans.
