How Cardvoy works

Why cards need a custody system, and the five steps Cardvoy takes from the ATM to the customer.

The problem

Cards are physical. Most banks still track them on paper.

An ATM keeps a card. A branch gets a list from the switch the next morning, if the file arrives. The card sits in a drawer, the customer calls the helpline, a courier loses a consignment and nobody knows whose desk it was on. Regulators set working-day deadlines and destruction rules, and the bank proves them with registers kept in spreadsheets.

Deadlines missed quietly

Retention periods run in working days across weekends and holidays that differ by country. Nobody sees a card going overdue until a complaint arrives.

Handover by trust

Cards are handed over on a signature in a register. The ID is not checked against the bank's records, and nobody can prove later who took the card.

Couriers as a black box

Consignments, tracking numbers and invoices live in e-mails and spreadsheets. PIN mailers travel with cards, and overcharges are paid because nobody can check them.

How it works

Capture, route, hold, hand over, prove.

  • Capture every card the minute an ATM keeps it, from the switch API, a file or a manual entry, with duplicates and unknown terminals stopped.
  • Route each card by explainable rules to the branch, the card centre, the issuer or destruction, with a working-day deadline on the country calendar.
  • Hold it under dual custody, with physical receipt confirmed and every move recorded.
  • Hand over only to the right person: a one-time code to the registered mobile, the ID matched to the customer record and a signature on screen.
  • Prove every step to auditors and the regulator from a hash-chained audit trail and ready-made registers.
