Before you begin: Ensure a card product has been configured for your tenant. See Create Card Product for setup instructions.
Use this API to issue and instantly activate a new card for a client — whether that's a debit card tied to a savings account or a credit card linked to a credit account. Once created, the card is automatically activated and ready for immediate use.
How it works
Mbanq sets up the card product on your behalf. To create a card, simply supply the cardProductId that corresponds to the type of card you want to issue.
Card types
- Debit Card — Link the card to an existing savings account, or create a new one first using Create Savings Account.
- Credit Card — Link the card to an existing credit account, or create a new one first using Create Credit Account.
You can also pass a userId to associate the card with a specific user within the client's account.
What to expect
A successful response confirms that the card has been created and activated. No additional activation step is required.
For a full overview of card capabilities, see the Card Features guide.
