Create debit card
This feature is in Beta and not ready for production integration.

Authorizations

Authorization
string
header
required

Application (M2M) OAuth2 access token (client credentials).

Body

Request to issue a debit card against a funding bank account. The debit card is provisioned through TSYS and linked to the caller's bank account (the DDA) resolved from Guid CreateDebitCardRequest.BankAccountId. Field- and cross-field validation (formats, lengths, card-type/shipping-address rules) is owned by CreateDebitCardRequestValidator (FluentValidation) so failures surface as our EmbedProblemDetails. A structurally absent required member still yields the framework's default 400 during deserialization — the same contract as the other issuance endpoints (e.g. credit cards).

bankAccountId
string<uuid>
required

The funding bank account (DDA) the card draws against.

cardType
enum<string>
required

Whether to provision a DIGITAL or PHYSICAL card. PHYSICAL requires a shipping address.

Available options:
DIGITAL,
PHYSICAL
reference
string
required

Caller-defined external reference, forwarded verbatim to TSYS as the ExternalApplicationId so the partner's own identifier flows end to end. Free-form text, max 50 characters (TSYS limit).

nickname
null | string

Optional caller-defined display nickname for the card, persisted and returned. When omitted or blank/whitespace, a default label is derived from the card type ("Virtual card" for DIGITAL, "Physical card" for PHYSICAL).

shippingAddress
null | object

Shipping address for a PHYSICAL card. Required for PHYSICAL, disallowed for DIGITAL.

userId
null | string<uuid>

The user the card is issued to. Cardholder identity (name, etc.) is sourced from this user's profile. Defaults to the calling user when omitted; required when the caller is not an individual user (e.g. application tokens), otherwise the request is rejected with a 400.
