Customer and use case
Specify the eligible UAE-based or internationally active customer segment and the financial job the product must complete.
Platform cards
Run a card programme as part of your product, not beside it.
Connect issuing, cardholder actions and spending controls to the accounts, balances and customer experience your business already owns. For a UAE launch, customer eligibility, provider coverage and operational responsibilities are confirmed for the specific use case before implementation.

Balance linked
UAE market context
Define the UAE platform architecture before selecting the implementation.
A regional version should make the customer scope, money flow, provider coverage and operational responsibilities easier to evaluate.
Providers and responsibilities
Confirm which entities provide regulated services and who owns onboarding, controls, exceptions, support and reconciliation.
Focused rollout
Begin with a coherent product, corridor or client segment and expand from measured customer and operational outcomes.
Framnex provides technology infrastructure, not legal advice or regulatory authorisation. Availability depends on the selected product, providers, customers and jurisdictions.
A connected card programme
The most useful card is connected to the balance, rules and product context around it.
Rather than operating as a standalone object, the card can become one controlled action within a wider account or wallet journey.
1A customer or team receives a cardThe cardholder and programme are defined around the role, product moment and spending need you want to support.
2Spend is connected to available fundsCard activity sits alongside the relevant account or wallet balance rather than in a disconnected experience.
3Controls live in the product journeyStatus, permissions and operational actions can be designed around the customer experience your team already manages.

Platform cards FAQ
Questions about this platform capability.
The practical product, architecture and operating questions teams usually ask before defining an implementation.
Can we start with virtual cards?
The initial card programme is defined around your customer model and commercial use case. A focused virtual-first scope can be considered where it makes sense for the launch.
Can card spend be connected to an account or wallet?
Yes. The card programme can be designed around the selected account or wallet balance experience so spend has a clear product context.
Can customers manage card actions in our own product?
The aim is to bring relevant card lifecycle actions into the product experience you own. The exact controls are planned for the selected programme.
What determines a card launch model?
The customer type, programme design, market, partner setup and compliance requirements all inform the appropriate path.
