Co-Brand Card Program
Launch journey, card design requirements, production, packaging, testing, and marketing rules for co-brand partners.
A co-brand card program lets a partner issue virtual and plastic payment cards carrying both the partner's brand and Wirex as the licensed issuer. Wirex remains the regulated issuer and retains responsibility for compliance, scheme obligations, and operational governance.
Launching with virtual cards only, or with both virtual and plastic cards, is at the partner's discretion.
