How to launch your own credit card
Business9 min

How to launch your own credit card

White label credit cards let non-financial businesses launch branded payment programs, driving revenue and customer loyalty. Success requires partnering with issuing banks, navigating PCI DSS and AML compliance, and building secure infrastructure. Most businesses use card-as-a-service platforms for faster deployment (3-6 months vs. years). Key steps include defining goals, selecting partners, integrating technology, ensuring regulatory compliance, and phased rollout. The process is complex and lengthy. On the other hand, Tap enables deployment in 12 weeks.

How to launch your own debit card

Launching a debit card program lets businesses issue branded cards that draw funds directly from linked accounts, increasing engagement and unlocking interchange revenue. Unlike credit cards, debit programs don't require lending licenses but need bank partnerships for BIN sponsorship and regulatory compliance (KYC, AML, PCI DSS). Costs exceed $100,000 in year one, covering card production ($2-$10 each), technology infrastructure, fraud monitoring, and customer support. Traditional builds take over a year, but platforms like Tap enable launches in 12 weeks with white-label solutions handling compliance, technology, and network partnerships.

What is Cards-as-a-Service (CaaS)?

Cards-as-a-Service (CaaS) enables companies to issue debit, credit, or prepaid cards without building banking infrastructure. CaaS platforms handle regulatory compliance, transaction processing, security, and card network integration, reducing launch times from years to weeks. Businesses benefit from faster time-to-market, lower costs, scalability, and customizable card designs with embedded loyalty programs. Use cases span fintech, retail brands, gig economy platforms, healthcare, and subscription services. CaaS consolidates traditional card issuing complexity into a single service layer, making payment cards accessible to businesses of all sizes. Tap's platform enables branded card launches in as little as 12 weeks.

Will Bitcoin keep going up in 2026? The road to the top and what does it look like

Bitcoin entered 2026 with technical and on-chain signals turning bullish after weeks of consolidation. The RSI moved above 50 with hidden bullish divergence, while Bitcoin approaches its 50-week moving average, a key trend divider. Exchange reserves dropped to multi-month lows, reducing selling pressure as larger holders accumulate. Spot Bitcoin ETF inflows resumed with BlackRock adding hundreds of millions in crypto exposure, signaling sustained institutional demand. Short-term holders moved back into profit, though this could trigger selling if gains accelerate.

What is COTI?

COTI (Currency Of The Internet) is an Ethereum Layer 2 privacy infrastructure enabling confidential transactions and smart contracts using Garbled Circuits, a secure multiparty computation method. Originally launched in 2017 as a payment network, COTI V2 evolved into privacy-focused infrastructure offering computation 3,000 times faster than ZK-SNARK systems with lower latency. The platform processes transactions off-chain for privacy and settles on Ethereum for security, remaining EVM-compatible. COTI's programmable privacy allows selective disclosure for audits and regulatory compliance. The native COTI token powers transaction fees, governance, and staking.
