Programme design

A card should express your product — not become a separate product.

A reliable crypto card workflow needs a consistent view of available funds, pricing, authorisation, holds, reversals and final settlement. Framnex keeps these states connected instead of treating the card processor as the entire product.

Card availability, supported assets, conversion model and programme responsibilities depend on geography, partners and customer type.

Capabilities

Build the card programme around the controls your model requires.

Choose the components that solve the immediate customer need, with the option to connect more services as the product grows.

Wallet balance connectivity

Connect spend decisions to the relevant custodial or platform balance and its availability rules.

Conversion logic

Define when and how digital assets are converted to the settlement currency, including pricing and fallback behaviour.

Card lifecycle

Support provisioning, activation, controls, suspension and replacement for virtual or physical cards.

Risk and reconciliation

Link authorisations, captures, reversals, fees and settlement records to an auditable ledger trail.

Authorisation flow

Make a spend decision with enough context to protect the customer and the programme.

The response path needs to coordinate several systems without losing a single source of truth.

Receive the card event

Capture amount, currency, merchant context and programme rules from the processor.

02

Check eligible availability

Evaluate wallet balance, asset rules, pending activity and customer controls.

03

Apply pricing and risk

Quote or reserve the conversion while fraud, velocity and compliance rules run.

04

Post and reconcile

Record the hold, capture, fees, conversion and settlement with linked references.

Crypto cards FAQ

Questions about this solution.

The commercial and operational questions teams most often ask before outlining their first launch.

Does a customer need to preload a fiat balance?

That depends on the programme design. Some models use a fiat or stablecoin buffer; others evaluate an eligible wallet balance and conversion path during authorisation.

Which digital assets can be supported?

The supported asset set is defined by custody, liquidity, risk and programme partners. A focused initial list is normally easier to operate and reconcile.

Does Framnex provide the card network directly?

Framnex coordinates the product and integration layer around relevant issuing, processing and programme partners. The final partner structure depends on the market and use case.

How are risk and compliance controls applied?

Customer, wallet and transaction controls are designed into onboarding, authorisation and ongoing monitoring. Exact responsibilities are defined in the operating model.
