Whether you're launching, scaling or migrating, there is a clear way to start.

EML Payments gives you flexible ways to launch, integrate and modernise payment programs, with the tools and support to match where you are today.

Building or scaling a program?

Choose how you connect. Start with ready-made white label portals and components or integrate directly through APIs and webhooks.

Already running a program?

Move onto EML with less disruption. We assess what you have, plan the pathway, and support the migration and the operations that follow.

From program setup to live card operations.

Step 1

Choose your launch path

Program templates, prebuilt components and portals, or direct integration via APIs. Pick the path that matches your needs.

Step 2

Configure the rules

Decide what the card can do before one exists. Currencies, funding model, account structure, spend controls and restrictions.

Step 3

Fund the accounts

Choose how money reaches the card. Load it upfront, top it up over time, or hold it centrally and release it only when a transaction is approved.

Step 4

Issue the cards

Virtual in seconds, into Apple Pay and Google Pay, or physical in the post. Branded or generic, one card or a hundred thousand.

Step 5

Process controlled spend

When a transaction happens, the platform checks it against your program rules before approving or declining it.

Step 6

Manage and optimise

Take control of lifecycle, reporting, reconciliation and settlement, or choose the level of operational support from EML you need.

Proven across five sectors that demand more than an API.

FAQs

Frequently Asked Questions

Do we need our own licence, and who do we contract with?

In most of our markets you can run under our licences and scheme memberships rather than obtaining your own. United Kingdom: FCA authorised e-money licence. Ireland and Europe: Central Bank of Ireland authorised e-money licence, so you can issue into Europe from an EU authorised entity. Australia: Australian Financial Services Licence. North America: we work through issuing bank partners rather than holding our own licence, which is the standard model in that market.

It depends on how you pay them, not on which platform you use. Money moved onto a card or account inside the platform is available to spend in real time. Money sent out to a bank account moves at the speed of the rail: real time rails such as NPP in Australia and Faster Payments in the UK settle in seconds, while SEPA and ACH follow their own clearing cycles.

Yes, and it is often the reason a program chooses cards over transfers. Value loads to a card or wallet the recipient can spend straight away, so the payout does not depend on bank details being on file or on the recipient passing a bank's own onboarding. This works the same way in every market we operate in.

One platform, one movement model, configured per market. You integrate once rather than rebuilding for each country. Each market brings its own licence, rails and local requirements, so programs are set up per market rather than stretched across them, and cross border movement runs on supported corridors with consistent conversion and posting. Adding a market is a configuration and compliance exercise, not a new build.

Arrangements differ by licence and by banking partner, and we provide the detail your procurement and risk teams need as part of scoping.

Return reasons and timings differ by rail. The handling does not. Failures, returns and mismatches route into the same exception queues with an owner, a state and a resolution record, whichever rail or market they came from, so you run one process rather than a different workaround per country.

Fee events, journals and posting outputs are generated from program activity and fed to finance workflows through supported integrations. One set of outputs regardless of how many markets you run in, so a multi market program does not mean a separate reconciliation process per country.
