# Visa card issuance

> End-to-end Visa card issuance: the regulated rail that turns a Sumvin card record into a spendable Visa-branded card.

<Snippet file="product-term-disambiguation.mdx" />

Visa card issuance is the regulated rail that turns Sumvin's internal Card Management API into a real Visa-branded debit card. The flow — provisioning, PAN delivery, activation — runs on **Visa Intelligent Commerce**, with [Sigil](/identity/overview) (a user's verified Sumvin identity) carried onto the card. Sumvin is a launch partner on Visa Intelligent Commerce. Issuance is delivered through our primary card issuer.

## What it covers

Provisioning, PAN delivery, activation, and the lifecycle states that follow. The internal [Card Management API](/products/card-issuing/card-management-api) is already documented and drives the Sumvin side of the flow; the Visa issuance rail is what makes the card real on the network side.

## Who it's for

Consumer app builders whose users need a card funded from their on-chain wallet. The [crypto wallet card](/overview/use-cases/crypto-wallet-card) reference application is the primary consumer.

<Info>
  End-to-end Visa card issuance is in **private preview** — the [Card Management API](/products/card-issuing/card-management-api) and [funding wallets](/products/card-issuing/funding-wallets) are live today, and network-side provisioning runs through the Visa issuance partner rail. Partners who scope their integration now help shape the issuance flow and secure first-cohort slots when cards ship — contact your account manager to get started.

## Where to start

The Visa issuance rail is the network side; Sumvin's [card issuing overview](/products/card-issuing/overview) is the composition you're wiring it into. The [Card Management API](/products/card-issuing/card-management-api) is already in place for the lifecycle operations, and [funding wallets](/products/card-issuing/funding-wallets) cover how each card draws from an on-chain balance. **The [crypto wallet card](/overview/use-cases/crypto-wallet-card) is the reference application — the shape the Visa issuance rail turns real on the network.**
