Operational focus for this use case

issuing API integration: Production clients should use scoped API keys, unique idempotency keys, bounded retries, request identifiers, and separate authorization, settlement, reversal, and refund records.

Risk and acceptance boundaries

Merchant acceptance varies by merchant, geography, card network, issuing program, and real-time controls. OPEN RAMBO does not guarantee that any card will work in every payment scenario. Cards must not be used for illegal activity, cash-out, abusive refunds, review evasion, or repeated decline testing.

FAQ

Which operations does the issuing API expose?

The current partner API covers product discovery, card creation, card listing, card details, top-ups, freeze, unfreeze, close, and issuer-side transaction queries.

How should failed requests be retried?

Retry only documented transient errors and reuse the same idempotency key for the same operation. Validation and balance errors require a state change.
