FAQ
What is X-Pays tokenization?
Provisioning cards into Apple Pay, Google Pay and Samsung Pay via the schemes' token services (Visa VTS, Mastercard MDES). Fintechnologica lists 18 verified providers (13 European-origin) that handle the token-requestor integration for issuers.
Do I need a separate provider for wallet provisioning?
Often it comes bundled with your issuer processor or card platform, but standalone specialists exist and can be faster for edge cases (co-badged cards, multiple issuers). Check whether push provisioning and in-app provisioning are both covered.
