FAQ

Common questions.

Vellfi provides technology, not issuance. The licensed issuer, scheme member, processor and program manager roles sit with the parties named in your agreements, along with program approval and launch timing.

Who is the Issuing Platform for?

Issuers, program managers, fintechs and card programs that need clearer configuration, lifecycle, control and operating workflows across their partners.

Which card schemes and processors are supported?

We do not claim universal coverage. We confirm the scheme, processor, market, product and interface for each proposed program.

Can eKYC connect to the platform?

It can, where eKYC is part of the scope. The approved onboarding outcome then passes into the cardholder creation workflow.

How does 3D Secure ACS relate to issuing?

Issuer-side ACS supports online cardholder authentication. It is a separate Vellfi service with its own scope, linked to issuing where compatible.

Are physical and virtual cards included?

Only the card forms, fulfillment responsibilities and interfaces confirmed for your program. We agree these with you during scoping.
