Why Card
Issuing Matters
Card Issuing lets you deliver branded payment cards - virtual or physical - without owning the infrastructure. FinLego's platform enables fintechs and crypto businesses to issue, manage, and control card programs through modern APIs and compliant back-end systems.

It removes the complexity of connecting to networks (Visa, Mastercard), handling security, managing compliance, and operating issuance logistics - all while maintaining full brand ownership and control over the user experience.
Deliver and Manage Cards as Part of Your Financial Stack
Virtual & Physical Cards
Issue digital cards for instant online use and physical cards for in-store spend, with your branding across platforms. Support EMV, contactless payments, and mobile wallet tokens.
Card Design & Control
Customize card artwork, spending categories, PINs, and tokenization settings. Set spend limits, merchant restrictions, and dynamic CVV rules - configured per card or user segment.
Multi-Currency Support
Issue cards tied to different underlying currencies. Combine with wallet balances for automatic currency selection and FX flows - ideal for global users.
Instant Issuance via API
Enable users to generate virtual cards instantly - ready for digital spend or tokenization in Apple Pay or Google Pay. Issue physical cards via fulfillment partners with real-time status updates.
Fraud & Authorization Rules
Apply real-time fraud detection, geolocation controls, velocity thresholds, merchant category controls, and authorization routing - either to decline, hold for review, or approve.
Integrated Ledger & Billing
Each card transaction auto-posts to your ledger. Fees, currency markups, and refunds are tracked and billed automatically - no manual reconciliation needed.
Compliance & KYC Integration
Linked with FinLego’s KYC/AML tools. Only KYC-KYB verified users can receive cards. All card-related actions adhere to issuer and scheme-level compliance rules.
