Card as a Service – a one-stop shop for card issuing
Through Card as a Service, you’ll get everything you need for your payment solution – from the Electronic Money Institution (EMI) licence to physical cards, and more. Don’t worry, you don’t need to buy every feature or tool we have to offer.
Here’s how we do it: First, we need to understand your short-term and long-term goals and needs. Based on that, we’ll configure your solution with the features and tools you’ll need to achieve your goals. What’s best for you is also best for us: We’re not afraid to challenge you on what features and tools best serve your company’s interests.
BIN sponsorship – speed up the process and launch in just eight weeks
Financial supervisory authorities require you to have a licence to issue cards. Don’t have one? Don’t worry, we’ve got you covered. Have one? Awesome! Then you don’t need to buy it from us.
With us, you can issue Visa and Mastercard products for your customers without being a principal card scheme member. This will save you time, money and a lot of grey hairs. And we’ll take care of the program management for you.
Payment processing – expertise in open and closed loop
We process payments at 99.99% availability at minimum – directly from both Visa and Mastercard. Don’t want to involve the card schemes? No problem. We also process closed-loop transactions.
Would you like us to handle the accounts and their balances? That’s what we are really good at!
Or would you like to keep the accounts and their balances to yourself instead? No worries! We’ll just make all the card-related security checks and fraud monitoring before forwarding the authorisations to you.
Digital wallets for premium customer experience and instant issuing
Build customer engagement and retention through digital wallets. Your cardholders can start using Google Pay, Apple Pay and Samsung Pay instantly after applying for their cards.
The widest feature portfolio on the market
You’ll get access to a wide range of card features and improve customer experience – for both consumer and business customers. Whether you’d like to issue prepaid cards in one country or credit cards in multiple countries, there are endless possibilities to grow and evolve with us.
We’ll build your payment solution with your end-customers in mind, which means you can create a smooth and optimal customer experience. We invest heavily in PCI-DSS certifications so you don’t need to.
When you choose Enfuce’s Debit BIN, you can issue pre-funded debit and prepaid cards. You’ll decide the setup of your card product, or you can issue both types of cards.
Debit card: When your cardholder pays with a debit card, there’s an immediate transfer directly from their bank account. Debit is a more widely accepted payment method than prepaid globally.
Prepaid card: Prepaid cards are the most common choice for fintech challengers. Through Card as a Service, you’ll have the means to handle top-ups and account balances in real time.
Issue feature-rich credit card products in many forms, such as buy now pay later, instalments, charge cards and revolving credit. Compatible with all geographies and payment methods, including virtual and physical cards, digital wallets, and more.
Charge card: a type of credit card that requires 100% of the outstanding balance to be repaid at once.
Revolving credit: a type of credit that doesn’t require the outstanding balance to be repaid in full at once, but can be paid in instalments or parts as well.
Issue physical and virtual gift cards with a consistent customer experience across channels. You can choose to issue on-time or reloadable gift cards.
Increase customer loyalty and open new revenue streams by issuing feature-rich fleet cards for both consumers and business customers.
Enable your customers to make purchases without having to pay for them right away. Instead, they get the flexibility to pay for their purchases over time, or in instalments.
Let us take care of statements and invoices, balances, instalments, interest, statement delivery and more for revolving credit products.
Issue your consumer customers anything from prepaid to credit cards. Enable them to pay how they want to pay, be it a plastic or virtual card, digital wallet, smart watch or any other wearable.
Issue your business customers anything from prepaid to credit cards with various digital features, unlimited hierarchies and value-adds like detailed reporting and analytics.
Scale your card business to new countries and grow your business. Rules, requirements and features can be adjusted for each country.
Scale to new markets more easily in the future. Enable your customers to have multiple currencies on their payment cards.
The multi-currency capability is a major priority for fintechs as international travel and cross-border transactions continue to surge. It’ll help you succeed in an ultra-competitive market.
Cardholder experience – boost use rate and loyalty
Create the best customer experience for your cardholders – wherever, however or whatever they pay for. Ease of use, sense of security, and tailored bonus programmes increase customer loyalty, visiting frequency, and average spend.
Remember: We keep you out of the PCI scope. This means that we invest heavily in PCI-DSS certifications so you don’t need to.
Allow your customers to choose their PIN codes themselves on both desktop and mobile devices.
Let your customers access the PIN code of their cards easily and securely – anywhere, anytime, any place.
Enable your customers to pay online, or add their card to a digital wallet. Virtual cards are always included in the price of Card as a Service.

Get your payment card product to the market in just weeks – whether in physical or virtual form, or both.
Increase customer engagement and loyalty by giving your customers bonuses or discounts. You can give them points for every purchase, amount spent or even every day they use their cards – the possibilities are endless.
Give your customers the control over their card usage and spending, and make it easy for them to change their card settings. On top of the common payment limitations, you can also choose to limit purchasing certain kinds of products or services, for example.
Give your customers access to the exchange rate and benchmark rate when they pay in another currency – before and after the purchase. This is required by EU Cross Border Payment regulation (EU 2019/518).
