Stripe provides the components to create, launch, and run a bank-sponsored credit programme. Use Credit Consumer Issuing to:
- Onboard consumer accounts
- Issue bank-sponsored credit cards (both physical and virtual)
- Manage your credit programme without needing your own sponsor bank or bank charter
- Move money between Stripe, your platform, and your consumers
- Customise how your consumers earn rewards
Credit Consumer Issuing also automatically maintains a credit ledger to track customer payments, responds to disputes on behalf of the consumer and reports to the Credit Bureau. To learn more, see How Credit Consumer Issuing works.
Features
Credit Consumer Issuing automatically:
| Issues physical and virtual cards with a bank partner to customers | You can issue physical or virtual cards using APIs or the Stripe Dashboard. Stripe manages the manufacturing, printing and shipping of the physical cards. |
| Manages processing with card networks | Stripe enables the transfers of funds between consumers, businesses and financial institutions. |
| Responds to disputes on behalf of the cardholder | When cardholders report a dispute, Stripe automatically manages and responds to the dispute on your behalf. We notify you if you win or lose the dispute. |
| Approves or denies payment authorisation requests in real time | Issuer processing allows Stripe to approve or decline payment authorisation requests in real-time. We evaluate each transaction based on the available credit, account status and your programme’s terms. |
| Uses advanced fraud alerts | We use advanced fraud tools to detect and prevent potential fraud, sending alerts during consumer onboarding if we find suspicious activity. |
| Reminds and collects outstanding payments from cardholders | Stripe automatically sends repayment reminders and provides payment plans to consumers for collections. |
| Reports to the Credit Bureau | Stripe handles credit bureau reporting in compliance with Metro2 formats. |
| Provides platform services and customer management tools | Stripe manages consumer account services on your behalf. This includes consumer support specialists who interact with your customers and handle inquiries according to your policies. |
| Includes reports | Stripe provides reports you can access in the Stripe Dashboard. To access advanced reports, use Stripe Sigma. Our Stripe Data Pipeline allows you to export Stripe data to your data warehouse to generate these reports. |
