Card Issue

Automatic card issue

To simplify the card issue process PPS can configure automatic account creation and card fulfilment. In this mode cards can be created using a minimum number of API calls.

Manual card issue

Where more control is required the client can take full (or partial) control of the card issue process including account creation and creation of a crd order for physical cards.

Replacement card issue

A card is typically replaced when it is close to expiry or when an original card is lost, stolen or damaged. A card is created and the original card is indicated. Typically, depending on programme setup, the original card is blocked when the new card is activated. Any business rules associated with the replaced card are copied to the new card.

Additional card issue

One or more additional cards may be added to an account. A use case might be for a joint account to give each accountholder a card. Typically additional cards are personalised with the responsible accountholder identifying different card owners.

Virtual card issue

A virtual card is one with no physical (plastic or device) form. Virtual cards do not require a card order process as they do not require fulfilment. Typically virtual cards require that the usually sensitive card information such as PAN and CVC2 are exposed to be delivered to the cardholder.

Bulk card issue

For convenience anonymous cards can be created in bulk using the card order resource. The card order is created with a request to produce a quantity of cards of the required type. The cards are produced asynchronously (with or without accounts as required by programme configuration). The card order can be queried to track completion of the bulk order.
