6. Creating a card

You can create a card for customers who have passed the KYC verification process.

The card contains information relating to the physical or virtual card, while the associated account contains broader information, such as what bank accounts it's connected to.

The card configuration is determined by the program_id which is provided by the Bond platform based on your requirements. There are three card configurations:

Virtual
Physical
Dual

For details, see Card program ID.

Upon creation, your customer can immediately use the virtual card. If they've been issued with a physical card, they can only use it once it's been activated. See activating a physical card.

Creating a card and card account

The account_id is based on the program_id which dictates information such as:

The KYC provider
Whether it is a debit/credit program
The card processor
The BIN provider

To create a card, use the POST /cards operation and provide the account_id as detailed in the cards API.
