> Skill based on **StraitsX Card Issuing API** (v1-CARDS), generated 2026-02-25 from docs.straitsx.com.

StraitsX Card Issuing lets you launch and manage a payment card program: create users and cards, activate, enroll 3DS, set PIN, and handle authorizations and webhooks. CMS is REST (Bearer token); RHA and webhook are endpoints you implement and StraitsX calls.
