Solid offers its FinTech Programs a fully managed Cards Program. That means Solid manages the physical card approval with the issuing bank, network, and card printer.
Solid has put together simple templates & guidelines for the FinTech program to follow for the Front of Card (FOC) design to simplify the process and get the required approval.
A FinTech Program can select between a horizontal card or a vertical card. All cards are Dual Interface (DI) which means they have a single embedded chip that allows the card to be used in both contact and contactless transactions.
The instructions below explain the Front of Card (FOC) template and the customization available to meet the brand guidelines of the FinTech Program.
You can download the Figma file of the template here. You can use the Figma app or in your web browser to customize your card art, then export it to an SVG file and send it to your Customer Success Manager. For physical cards, the printer will ultimately use EPS format with CMYK colors, so ideally you would proof your colors in a design program such as Adobe Illustrator, and export an EPS file from there.
