Virtual Cards

Virtual Card Platform Development

We design and build virtual card platforms by integrating with card issuing processors and building the software layer around them — user app, cardholder management, spending controls, wallet, compliance flows, and admin dashboard. We do not issue cards directly; we build the platform.

What We Build

Card Issuing API Integration

We integrate with card issuing processors and BIN sponsors (such as Marqeta, Lithic, Stripe Issuing, or regional providers) to enable virtual card creation and management within your platform.

User Onboarding & KYC

A complete cardholder onboarding flow including identity verification, KYC/KYB checks, and eligibility screening before card issuance.

Card Controls

Let cardholders and admins set spending limits, freeze or unfreeze cards, restrict merchant categories, and configure single-use or recurring card behavior.

Wallet & Funding Flows

Build the balance and funding layer that sits behind the card program. Users load their wallet via bank transfer, card, or stablecoin deposit; the balance funds card spend.

Transaction History

A detailed transaction view showing merchant name, category, amount, authorization status, and settlement date. Searchable, filterable, and exportable.

Fraud Controls

Configurable fraud detection rules, velocity limits, unusual activity alerts, and card block workflows integrated with the issuing processor.

Notifications

Real-time push and in-app notifications for authorizations, declines, settlements, and card management events.

Admin Dashboard

Operations team tools for cardholder management, card status overrides, dispute intake, limit adjustments, and compliance reporting.

Dispute Support Workflows

Build the intake form, status tracking, and admin review workflow for transaction disputes. Manage cardholder communication throughout the process.

Compliance & Regulatory Note

Virtual card programs involve regulated financial products. Card issuance requires working with a BIN sponsor, issuing processor, and card network. Depending on your product structure and jurisdiction, additional licensing or regulatory relationships may be required. We build the software platform and integrate the card issuing processor; we do not provide banking, card issuing, or payment services directly. Work with qualified legal and compliance partners to structure your card program correctly.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can you issue cards directly?
No. Card issuing requires a BIN sponsor, issuing processor, and in most cases a regulatory relationship with a card network such as Visa or Mastercard. We integrate with card issuing processors and build the software platform — user app, admin tools, ledger, compliance flows — around their issuing capabilities.
Which card issuing providers can you integrate with?
We have integrated with providers such as Marqeta, Lithic, Stripe Issuing, and regional processors. The right provider depends on your geography, supported card networks, required features, and commercial terms.
Can the platform support business and consumer cards?
Yes. We build platforms for both consumer cardholders (individual users) and business cardholders (companies, employees, teams). The onboarding flow, KYC/KYB requirements, and admin tools differ between the two use cases.
Can virtual cards be funded with stablecoins?
Yes. We build the balance layer to accept stablecoin deposits and convert them to fiat balances that fund card spend. This requires an off-ramp or currency conversion integration. The card network and processor settle in fiat.
Can we add spend limits and merchant controls?
Yes. Most issuing processors support configurable spend limits, merchant category code (MCC) restrictions, geographic blocks, and single-use card configurations. We expose these controls in your cardholder app and admin dashboard.
What does an MVP include?
A typical MVP covers user onboarding and KYC, virtual card creation (single card per user), basic spend controls, transaction history, wallet funding via one method, and a simple admin dashboard. Advanced features like team cards, corporate controls, and full dispute management are added in subsequent iterations.
