Choose an issuing solution

Choose the right card product before creating cards so funding, card creation, and card management can proceed smoothly.

Selection approach

ONERWAY Issuing currently provides business virtual card products for online card binding and payments. When choosing a product, consider:

  • Whether the main payment scenario is advertising, ecommerce procurement, or general business expenses
  • Whether the main card usage platforms are U.S.-focused or international cross-border platforms
  • Whether merchant coverage or cross-border transaction compatibility is more important
  • Whether digital wallet capability is required
