Customer and use case
Specify the eligible UAE-based or internationally active customer segment and the financial job the product must complete.
Card issuing
Put your brand at the point of spend.
Create a virtual or physical card product that connects to your own customer experience, account model and business controls — not a standalone card programme. For a UAE launch, customer eligibility, provider coverage and operational responsibilities are confirmed for the specific use case before implementation.

Programme design
A card should express your product — not become a separate product.
A card can be the most visible expression of a financial product. Its real value grows when it connects to the account, wallet, controls and operational workflow that customers use every day.
Card availability, programme design and controls are subject to the relevant partner, geography and regulatory setup.

Card issuing FAQ
Questions about this solution.
The commercial and operational questions teams most often ask before outlining their first launch.
Can we launch virtual cards before physical cards?
The right first scope depends on the customer journey. Virtual cards can be a focused starting point where immediate digital access is more important than a physical format.
Can card controls reflect our business rules?
Controls are designed around the intended cardholder and spend model. The exact options depend on the selected issuing and programme configuration.
Can cards be linked to wallet or account balances?
Yes. A connected card product is designed to work with the account or wallet foundation that supports the customer’s available funds.
Where can a card programme launch?
Availability depends on the card programme, partner setup, target geography and regulatory requirements. These are scoped during discovery.
