The Issuing and Financial Accounts for platforms demo app Card details page

The Issuing and Financial Accounts for platforms sample app card details page

This app is for platforms onboarding business customers. If you only need cards for yourself or your own employees, use Issuing in the Dashboard instead.

Create an account with the platform

To use the sample app, first create an account to onboard as a customer of the platform.

After you provide an email and password, the app’s backend creates a connected account and requests the card_issuing and treasury capabilities.

Accounts v2 API compatibility

The Accounts v2 API doesn’t support Issuing and Financial Accounts workflows. If you have accounts created with Accounts v2, you can use Accounts v1 to manage the treasury and card_issuing capabilities. For details, see Use Accounts as customers.

(Optional) Simulate hosted onboarding to provide full account details
