What it is
Thredd is a card issuing and processing platform for fintechs, banks, and embedded finance businesses. Its API and web platform supports debit, credit, prepaid, and virtual card programmes, with gateway, cooperative, and full-service processing options. A shared API and cloud infrastructure provide multi-region resilience. The real-time ledger gives teams a traceable, auditable view of accounts, wallets, and transactions.
The platform connects with Visa, Mastercard, Discover, and US PIN networks STAR, NYCE, and Pulse. It also supports Apple Pay, Google Pay, and Samsung Pay, with direct connections to MDES and Visa Token Service. Its web portal provides transaction tracking, card controls, cardholder analytics, and role-based access. Risk tools include 3D Secure, fraud and scam monitoring, and dispute and chargeback support. Thredd says AI-driven models support fraud monitoring, credit decisioning, and onboarding. Pricing is on request. Full card PAN retrieval is limited to organisations with PCI DSS Level 1 compliance.
