Card Issuance

Users can instantly issue a crypto-backed virtual payment card through a fully digital and automated process.

Card issuance is designed to be fast and frictionless, allowing users to start using the card almost immediately after creation. Once issued, the virtual card becomes available right away and can be used for supported online, mobile wallet, and NFC payments.

How Card Issuance Works

1

Start card issuance

Users can start the card issuance process immediately — no account creation or registration is required.

2

Confirm issuance fee

The system calculates the issuance fee based on the card amount and shows it before confirmation.

3

Receive a virtual card instantly

The virtual payment card is issued within seconds and becomes available for use immediately after creation.

Card Availability

Once issued, the virtual card is ready for immediate use, including:

  • Online payments

  • In-store payments via mobile wallets

  • Subscriptions and recurring charges

The card can be added to Apple Pay and Google Pay immediately after issuance, allowing contactless payments where supported.

The card is virtual only. Physical cards are not issued at this time.
