What is Tapeeze?

Accepted Answer

Tapeeze is a Swedish fintech company that enables banks, crypto companies, fintechs and lifestyle brands to launch premium tokenized physical payment cards. Tapeeze cards use the same tokenization standard as Apple Pay and Google Pay, meaning no card number, no CVV and no cardholder name is printed on the card. All credentials are stored as a secure digital token, provisioned via Fidesmo Pay and accepted everywhere Mastercard and Visa are supported. Tapeeze handles the full card infrastructure, from design and tokenization to global distribution and user activation, allowing any company to launch a physical card product in as little as two weeks, without a banking license or new card program.

Activation takes approximately 60 seconds.
