Overview
Bulk Card Create is initiated through the submission of a bulk issuance request. This request can be transmitted either via the bulk file interface or the online API, offering flexibility in how users engage with the system. The primary purpose of this application is to facilitate the mass issuance of pre-embossed cards tailored to specific product parameters. By specifying the desired quantity and product details, users can efficiently generate a large volume of cards, streamlining the card issuance process for various purposes.
How It Works
The Financial Institution will request a consolidated batch of 'x' cards in a single submission, with the flexibility to initiate multiple batches as needed. The maximum allowable card request limit for Financial Institutions is set at 9,999. When 'x' number of cards are requested, they are not immediately created. Instead, a request is generated and queued for backend processing. Creation processes are scheduled between 21:20:00 and 04:35:00. For example, a card requested at 13:00:00 will wait until the scheduled processing time for creation. In the context of the Bulk Card Create API, a unique identifier will be provided from our end. Utilizing this identifier, you can retrieve the list of cards, which will include information indicating either this request is in a waiting status, or if it was processed, we will return the actual list of created cards. You have the option to apply multiple filters to the card list, such as filtering by unique identifier, product, or contract status.
- BULK_IN_PROGRESS – The cards are in process of being created (cards were created, but embossing file was not extracted).
- BULK_READY – The cards are ready to be used.
- BULK_USED – This card has already been associated with a specific client, hence it remains in a used state, preventing further linkage.
- BULK_CLOSED – This card can no longer be used due to a specific reason, like it is damaged card.
