eSIM for fintech, banks, and premium cards

Add a travel data benefit to the app. The bank sets eligibility, funds an allowance, and keeps the customer in its app.

Short answer: Add a data benefit to a premium card, a loyalty tier, or the travel section of your app. The customer checks eligibility, installs the eSIM, and stays in your app.

  • Card benefit and rewards
  • eSIM inside your app
  • Allowance or paid plans

Can we fund an included allowance and sell extra data?

Yes. Set the allowance by segment, and let the customer buy an extra eSIM when it runs low.

Can we check eligibility without card data?

Use a token, a BIN range, or your own service. Do not send card data to us.

What does a pilot measure?

Activation, first use, extra eSIMs, support contacts, and retention.

Do we need paper?

No. The voucher goes by email or into the customer account.
