New Cards

When an issuer uses the CoreCard system for creating and activating an account, the customer's information is linked to the account. You can use the CoreCard system to generate a new card number and issue that number to the customer. The card number is unique and will be linked to a specific account number. If a customer completes monetary transactions using the card issued for an account, those transactions would be recorded for that account and that card. You can use CoreCard APIs to generate the cards in digital as well as physical form. 

There are three main types of cards that can be issued using the CoreCard system:

Primary Card: This card is issued to the main or primary account holder and can be a physical or digital card. You can generate the primary card during account creation (see the AccountCreation API). 

Secondary Card: The secondary card is a physical or digital card usually issued to a secondary cardholder at the primary account holder's request (see the CreateSecondaryCard API). The secondary card may have the same rights as the primary card. The primary cardholder can control attributes and account accessibility for the secondary cardholder.
 

Virtual Card: This card can be created virtually at an account holder's request for a predefined use limit. Depending on the requirement, the primary cardholder can define the attributes of the virtual card using CoreCard API (see the CreateVirtualCard API).
