Card Issuing Platform
in Nepal
Running a card programme in Nepal usually means a bank partner, a processor and your own compliance tooling. The Eisy card issuing platform gives you all of it in one place: a business account, a USD wallet, card holder verification, a dashboard for your team and an API for your product.

- •Use the dashboard, the API, or both. Owners and members on your team see the same cards, customers and wallet.
- •Business verification (KYB) and card holder ID checks are part of the platform, not something you build first.
- •Transparent, per-business pricing for card creation, funding, termination and declines, with no platform or monthly fee.

FAQs about the card issuing platform
1
Who can use the Eisy card API in Nepal?
Registered businesses in Nepal and elsewhere. You apply for a merchant (business) account, complete business verification (KYB), and your account is reviewed before API keys are issued.
2
Which card networks and currency are supported?
Visa and Mastercard virtual cards denominated in US dollars. Every card is funded from your business USD wallet.
3
Do card holders need to verify their identity?
Yes. Each card holder completes a quick ID and selfie check before cards can be issued to them. You can run this from your dashboard or through the API.
4
How do I know when a card is used?
Webhooks. You receive signed events when a card is issued, funded, authorised, settled, declined, reversed, refunded, blocked or terminated, with automatic retries if your endpoint is down.
5
What does it cost?
Pricing is set per business: a card creation fee, a funding fee (flat or percentage), and termination and decline fees. The fees for your account are shown in your merchant dashboard and before every action you confirm.
6
Do I need to write code to use the platform?
No. You can manage card holders, cards, your wallet and webhooks from the merchant dashboard. The API is there when you want to issue cards from your own product.
7
Can my team share one account?
Yes. Invite team members to your merchant dashboard. Owners manage keys, the API URL, webhooks and withdrawals; members help run day-to-day card operations.
8
Can the cards pay merchants that charge in NPR?
Yes. The cards hold US dollars, and when a merchant charges in Nepalese rupee (NPR) or any other currency, Visa or Mastercard converts the amount to USD at the time of the transaction.
