How to issue a virtual card

SCA Questions required before issuing a new card

  • As a Modulr Strong Customer Authentication requirement, all team users will need to answer from 1 to 5 security questions during setup credentials on the onboarding process.
  • When a Director or Account Owner adds a new team member, the new user must answer the SCA Questions during the onboarding process of setting up their credentials.
  • If security questions are not answered during the onboarding process, cards will not be able to be issued for that team member and a warning message will appear to each team member in the Team section when selecting the cardholder from the Cards section.

A Director is the only role that can issue a new virtual card for a team member.

  • User flow to issue a virtual card is the same for SME and CONSUMER, and also for all banking providers, except for card limits which differ between Railsbank, EML, and Modulr. The flow is as below:
    • The Director goes to the 'Cards' section
    • Select 'New card' at the top right button
