A modern card issuing platform helps fintechs launch fast, manage virtual card issuance, and offer branded digital card-issuing solutions—all via a single integration.

Whether you're a fintech launching your first card product or a crypto platform scaling globally, the path from idea to market can be slow and fragmented. That’s where a card issuing platform comes in.
Instead of building from scratch, you can issue virtual cards, manage spend, and launch with your branding—without navigating a maze of banks, processors, and regulators.
Building card products traditionally involves multiple vendors, long timelines, and significant upfront costs. But modern APIs now make it possible to go live in weeks, not months.
Striga’s platform offers virtual card issuance through a single integration. Businesses can design, issue, and manage crypto debit cards, with built-in features like spend limits, real-time tracking, and lifecycle controls.
This isn’t just about speed. It's about control, insight, and flexibility—without compromising compliance or security.
Every business has different payment needs. Some want to enable online spending with dynamic cards; others are looking to support embedded finance or crypto wallets.
Striga’s digital card-issuing solutions are designed for adaptability. Through white-label functionality, fintechs can tailor cards with their own branding, adjust controls on the fly, and give users more visibility into their spending.
These features work especially well for platforms looking to blend fiat and crypto payments into a single user experience—with no prefunding required.
Customers expect fast, secure, and flexible payment tools—especially across borders. With integrated wallets, Striga enables businesses to embed virtual cards directly into exchange platforms or mobile apps.
The result? An experience that feels native and seamless, helping boost user retention and reduce drop-off rates.
For users, it means safer online payments with two-factor authentication and instant card controls. For platforms, it means more engaged customers and less overhead.
Launching a card programme shouldn't be a six-month project. With Striga, you can build, test, and launch through a sandbox-ready card issuing platform that handles compliance, onboarding, and card network integrations.
Fintechs get everything they need to start issuing from day one—including access to crypto-fiat rails, KYC support, and instant virtual card provisioning.
The demand for flexible, branded, and fast-to-market payment products is growing. A modern card issuing platform allows fintechs to meet that demand with less friction and more control.
Striga makes it possible to issue, scale, and manage virtual cards through simplified infrastructure—so you can focus on your users, not backend complexity.
We just recently announced that Striga has joined, and we’ve been overwhelmed by the support and curiosity from our community. We’ve received a lot of great questions — here are some of the most common ones, along with what’s next for Striga and Lightspark.
A few weeks ago, Striga officially joined Lightspark — a company building the most efficient platform for global, real-time money movement on the Bitcoin network. Together, we’re combining Striga’s strong foundation in crypto compliance and banking infrastructure with Lightspark’s cutting-edge payment technology.
Lightspark and Striga share a vision: to make global payments faster, cheaper, and more open. Striga’s expertise in crypto-native card programs, KYC/KYB, and fiat–crypto bridging complements Lightspark’s Grid API. This partnership accelerates our roadmap and expands what both companies can offer developers and fintechs.
Nothing changes right now — your contracts, APIs, and integrations continue to work as before. You’ll continue to work with the same team, and we’ll notify you well in advance of any updates or migrations.
Lightspark partners now benefit from Striga’s capabilities in regulated card issuance, fiat ramps, and compliance tooling. Over time, you’ll see these integrated into Lightspark’s offerings.
For now, yes. The Striga brand and platform will remain active while we work behind the scenes on deeper integration. We’ll share updates as the two teams and products come together.
No immediate changes. You can continue using all existing Striga endpoints and tools. If updates occur, we’ll make migration guides and timelines available well ahead of time.
Please continue reaching out to your Striga account manager or the same support channels you’ve always used. Lightspark’s team is working closely with Striga to ensure seamless communication.
The combination of Lightspark and Striga gives builders a powerful stack — from compliant onboarding and card issuance to fast global settlement over Bitcoin. Together, we’re unlocking new possibilities for wallets, neobanks, and payment companies.
We’ll be gradually rolling out updates that bring the best of both platforms together. Expect new APIs, expanded corridors, and improved developer experiences — with the reliability and compliance you’ve come to expect from Striga.
