Gnosis Pay launches consolidated API for branded Visa card issuance, consolidating 15+ vendors and regulatory requirements.
Tech & Launches ·
Gnosis Pay has launched a consolidated API designed to streamline the creation of branded Visa cards by aggregating more than 15 vendors and regulatory requirements into a single integration point. The platform handles issuing, know-your-customer (KYC) verification, dispute resolution and compliance functions, reducing the complexity typically scattered across multiple service providers.
Card issuance in crypto has historically required teams to coordinate with separate vendors for each function—card production, payment processing, identity verification and regulatory reporting—each with distinct technical standards and compliance obligations. By consolidating these touchpoints into one API, Gnosis Pay reduces integration overhead and the surface area for regulatory misalignment, allowing issuers to launch compliant products faster.
What remains unclear is the extent of Gnosis Pay's coverage across jurisdictions, the specific regulatory frameworks the API addresses, and whether the platform handles all compliance categories uniformly or applies tiered approaches for different risk profiles. The number of card issuers already using or planning to use the API has not been disclosed.
