Configure Card Embossing
Control how physical cards are personalized — from cardholder details to when embossing is triggered.
Card embossing refers to the process of adding cardholder and card details onto a physical card, depending on your card program configuration.
For Priority-issued cards, embossing applies only to physical cards and is handled as part of the card issuance flow.
What Gets Embossed
When a physical card is issued, the following details are printed or embossed on the card:
- Cardholder Name
- Card Number (PAN)
- Expiration Date
- CVV (based on program configuration)
When Does Embossing Happen?
Embossing is triggered only when a physical card is issued.
