Two layers. One considered experience.

## Your team defines the product. Your customer controls their card.

Keep programme decisions separate from individual card actions. Product eligibility, pricing and available controls belong to your setup; freeze, unfreeze and online-payment preferences belong in the customer's app.

01 · Product configuration

### Create the right card product

Choose the issuer, card type, supported currencies and eligible customer segment for each card product. Link the relevant price list and approved design configuration to define what customers can order.

02 · Customer experience

### Put useful controls within reach

Set the rules for the card experience delivered through web, iOS and Android apps. Combine spending allowances with available card controls, while keeping product defaults separate from actions on an individual issued card.

Make the programme practical

## Align the product, technology and issuing partner.

Start with your audience and target markets. Confirm the issuer's programme scope, commercial terms and responsibilities before finalising the customer journey.

Your team

### Proposition and customer relationship

Define eligibility, branding, pricing and how your team supports cardholders.

![Crassula](https://crassula.io/static/images/logo/crassula/logo_green_white.svg)Crassula

### Connected product technology

Configure card products, connect the issuing integration and deliver controls through apps, APIs and the back office.

Issuing partner

### Programme and issuing services

Agree supported markets, card types, approval requirements and fulfilment with the selected partner.

[**Not covered here?**Bring your question to a demo with our team.](https://crassula.io/request-demo/)

How fast can we launch a card program?

Launch scope and timing depend on the issuing partner, programme approval, integration requirements and customer journey. We review these dependencies with you before agreeing a delivery plan.

Do we need our own banking or e-money licence?

Crassula provides technology. The licensed setup and responsibilities must be agreed with the relevant issuing partner and advisers for your programme and markets.

Who actually issues the cards?

Cards are issued through the selected issuing partner. Explore the Intercash, REAP and Railsr connector pages, then confirm programme eligibility, supported markets and commercial terms with the team.

Can customers manage cards in the app?

The customer experience can include freeze and unfreeze, online-payment controls and spending allowances. Available controls depend on the card product and issuing integration.

Can we offer personal and business products?

Separate products can define eligible customer segments, currencies, account links and price lists. Confirm the supported scope with the selected issuing partner.
