Creating Virtual Credit Cards Programmatically

Hi fellow hackers,

Latelly, it seems like i have found my killer idea in FinTech and basically i will be providing a wallet application for people who are not able to go it alone. My question is: How to create virtual credit cards for our customer so that they can spend what amount in their wallet as a ease of breeze?

Currently, there is a chance to access API of Silicon Valley Bank but they told me usage of api is not available through Stripe Atlas.

I feel like that I am solving a big problem where people can't spend their money online where their payment systems are not available in rest of world.I will be waiting for your recommendations.

Happy coding!

    I don't know exactly how to solve the challenge of How to create virtual credit cards for our customer so that they can spend what amount in their wallet as a ease of breeze? but I do know of a service that allows you to create virtual card numbers for your bank account.

    It may be a start to see if they've written about their process, or flat out ask them how they went about it.

      I motivated myself and after I sent them an email on how they managed and they simply said 'No, we can not help you at all'

        It was worth a shot. I wonder if anyone here on IH has experience with working in this industry that might be able to shed some light.

      wow thats a nice service, i never approached to this field in perspective of privacy but this not kinda answer. i want to issue virtual cards myself preferably in us on my own way by using api.

      i kinda hesitated to contact to them.If i asked how they made it by using maybe can go awkward? too bad, i'm still shy
