Prepaid and debit cards must have a PIN set after they are issued, and the card must be ACTIVE to set the PIN. Cardholders can update their PIN after it has been initially set.

  • For web-based integrations, we recommend you change a PIN with the Secure Inputs SDK.
  • For iOS and Android based integrations, you can securely change a PIN from the API with a Client Token.

Use the following mutation to set a PIN for a payment card:

Lock a card

Once a card is active, you can provide an interface for your account holders to lock their payment card. Locking a payment card is useful for scenarios when an account holder loses their card or is not actively using their card.

You can connect the mutation SuspendPaymentCard to a toggle element in your website or application to create the lock card functionality:

Unlock a card

You can also provide an interface for your account holders to unlock" their payment cards.

Use the ActivatePaymentCard mutation to create the unlock card functionality for your website or application:

Reissue a card

Note: When you reissue a card, do not close the first card until you or the cardholder activates the new card. If you are replacing a lost or stolen card, we recommend issuing a new card instead. If the first card is closed before activation, both cards may be closed.

Reissuing card allows you to create a new card with the same card number or a different card number for the following use cases:

Use CaseDescription
Your customer already has a virtual card and would now like to order a physical card.You do not want to ship an active physical card but also don’t want to deactivate the virtual card while the physical card is shipping. To achieve this, reissue the card with the same card number but a different expiration date and CVV.
The card is about to expire.You want to issue a new card with the same card number but a different expiration date later in the future.

Use the following mutation to reissue a card:

Lost or stolen cards

Lost and stolen cards are reported to the card network, which results in the primary account number (PAN) and any predecessors being deactivated.

When you reissue a card, do not close the first card until you or the cardholder activates the new card. If you are replacing a lost or stolen card, we recommend issuing a new card instead. If the first card is closed before activation, both cards may be closed.

Example

The following steps outline an example of how you reissue a card:

  1. Call reissuePaymentCard to create a new payment card. By default, the new payment card is a virtual card and will be attached to the same financial account as the original payment card. You may choose to copy the card number and/or PIN from the original payment card. You can also choose to reissue a physical card if necessary, using an existing or new address for shipping.
  2. If copyNumber is true, the new payment card will have the same card number as the original payment card. You may then also choose to set copyPin to true. If you choose to update the card number, you will not be able to copy the PIN. Note, in this case, the expiration date cannot be in the same month/year as the original payment card. Additionally, the original payment card cannot be in the CLOSED state.
  3. If you are reissuing a physical card, while the Physical Card is being printed and shipped to the account holder it is not active, as activateOnCreate is set to false. Note that even if it has the same card number, it will have a different expiration date and CVV. The virtual card remains active.
  4. When the physical card is delivered to the account holder, you may want to activate it. You can only maintain one active reissued payment card at a time. As such, when you activate a reissued card, the old card will immediately be deactivated and no longer accept authorizations.

Close a card

Closing a payment card is permanent and closes both virtual cards and any associated physical cards. Use the following mutation to close a card:

Map ATM locations

Note: A maximum of 50 ATM locations are returned per request.

If you offer payment cards with cash withdrawal capabilities, you may want to provide your account holders with the ability to locate ATMs that do not have surcharges.

Note the following when using the FindATMLocationsForPaymentCardByRadius query:

  • Use a radius search when searching around a specific place (address, postal code, landmark, etc.) to retrieve the locations' latitude and longitude.
  • Set a distance to the radius of the search circle. The distance is expected to be in miles unless overridden.

Filter ATM search results

Filters allow you to refine your ATM location search by including or excluding certain ATM features.

By default, the ATM features included are:

  • OPEN_24_HOURS
  • DEPOSIT_AVAILABLE
  • ACCESSIBLE

Use the following query to filter your ATM search results:

Inclusive ATM filters

When using the include parameter, ATM location search results will be filtered to only the included values of available ATM features.

In the following code snippet example, since the includes field was provided with the value of OPEN_24_HOURS, the results from the API will return only the matching locations.
