FAQs about the card issuing platform
1
Who can use the Eisy card API in Saudi Arabia?
Registered businesses in Saudi Arabia 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 SAR?
Yes. The cards hold US dollars, and when a merchant charges in Saudi riyal (SAR) or any other currency, Visa or Mastercard converts the amount to USD at the time of the transaction.
