Card issuing platform

Koṣa Issuing

Configure, issue, authorize and manage. A modular card issuing and payment account platform that carries credit, debit, prepaid, corporate, fleet and digital wallet products through one account master, one card entity and one authorization pipeline.

Overview

One card entity, every product line

Cards & Accounts is where every product on the platform starts. It owns the account master and every card issued against it, across a six-product portfolio that resolves to one unified card entity — issued, authorized and serviced through the same core pipeline.

A new product line does not mean a new platform. Balances and credit limits live at the account level, the billing cycle that turns them into a statement is its own module downstream, and every transition is recorded for audit.

  • Complete account record with statuses, block codes and supplementary cards
  • Account hierarchy for corporate parent, employee and fleet structures
  • Full operator audit history behind every issuance and block action

FleetVehicle-assigned cards on the same company facility, attributed by vehicle and driver.

Key capabilities

What the platform does out of the box

Full card lifecycle

Instant virtual issuance alongside physical production, embossing and fulfilment, activation, scheduled renewal ahead of expiry, and replacement or reissue. Every card moves through the same tracked status model, which is what lets an agent handle a credit card and a fleet card the same way.

Card-level security services

HSM-grade PIN issuance and change, card blocks and status control, and a hot-card list that makes a lost or stolen card unusable across the platform the instant it is reported. A lost or stolen card always gets a new number, so the compromised one can never be reused.

Corporate and fleet programs

One company facility limit shared across every employee card issued under it, with department hierarchy, per-card spending controls by merchant category, channel and cash access, consolidated billing and a central payment sweep. Fleet cards attribute spend by vehicle and driver.

Digital wallet and tokenization

Stored-value wallet accounts with wallet-to-wallet transfer, personal QR pay and receive, multi-currency balances and velocity limits with automatic step-up KYC. Cards provision into phone-based wallets, with tokens kept in sync whenever a card is blocked, replaced or renewed.

How it works

Two everyday operations, end to end

Opening a new card account

  1. An agent opens an account under the customer record and selects the product.
  2. A card is issued against it — instantly as a virtual card, and queued for physical production.
  3. The embossing batch picks up queued cards on its scheduled run and generates the personalization bureau file.
  4. The cardholder activates by app, phone or first transaction inside the configured window.

Handling a lost or stolen card

  1. The cardholder or agent reports the card lost or stolen and it is blocked immediately.
  2. The block publishes to the hot-card list, so authorization declines any further attempt instantly, anywhere.
  3. A replacement is issued with a new card number, so the compromised number can never be used again.
  4. The account keeps every prior card generation on record.
Integration

Open, flexible, connected

Koṣa fits into the landscape you already run rather than demanding you replace it. Open APIs and pre-built connectors cover the systems an issuing operation depends on.
