Activating a card
How to activate a card
Activating a physical card
A physical card is always issued as inactive and must be activated before use.
To activate a card, use the POST /cards/{card_id}/activate
operation.
An example of a request to activate a card is shown below.
curl --request POST \
--url https://sandbox.bond.tech/api/v0.1/cards/c8940088-21e8-451c-987c-0a0398db3ee5/activate \
