Roadmap · Q3 2026 Pilot

Alphaex Card.

The corporate card funded directly from your custody balance. Spend stablecoin and fiat reserves with named-authoriser controls, real-time FX at point of sale, and unified audit reporting. Currently in development for a Q3 2026 pilot launch under Alphaex's Bank of Lithuania regulatory base.

Use custody balances for everyday operations

An institutional card. Funded by treasury, controlled by policy.

A corporate card is a spend channel — nothing more. The funding source, the controls, the audit, and the reconciliation should all live where the rest of treasury already runs.

Multi-currency funding.

Funded from custody-held USDC, USDT, EURC, USD, EUR, GBP, or CAD balances. No separate top-up account.

Named-authoriser controls.

Spend ceilings, MCC restrictions, named approvers, and corporate hierarchy that mirrors the org chart. Out-of-policy declines at swipe.

Real-time FX at point of sale.

When the cardholder spends in a different currency, FX conversion happens in real time at a transparent margin disclosed up-front.

Unified audit log.

Card transactions appear in the same audit log as treasury operations. One reconciliation cycle, one export, one auditor view.

Choose your card

Get a Virtual card included with Treasury, or go Metal for the executive tier.

Both tiers run on the same custody backbone, the same policy engine, and the same audit trail. The Metal tier adds higher limits, premium spend categories, and dedicated relationship management.

Spend control at the policy layer

Every card sits inside the same authoriser framework as the vault.

A card swipe at a coffee shop and a transfer to a counterparty bank go through the same policy check — same named authorisers, same MCC restrictions, same ceilings, same audit log. There is no separate "card admin" portal disconnected from treasury operations.

  • Named authoriser per card · per cardholder
  • MCC restrictions and category-level controls
  • Out-of-policy attempts decline at the point of sale, not after the fact
  • Card swipes recorded in the same audit log as treasury movements
Request control framework

Issued across the corporate group

Run cards across every entity in the group, on one balance sheet.

Holding companies, operating subsidiaries, joint ventures — each gets its own card hierarchy with its own authorisers, its own ceilings, its own MCC profile. All consolidated into one treasury reporting view. Card spend rolls up alongside treasury movements without manual reconciliation.

  • Hierarchy that mirrors your legal structure
  • Per-entity authorisers, ceilings, and MCC profiles
  • Consolidated reporting at group, segment, or entity level
  • Cross-jurisdiction card issuance under one regulatory base

Frequently Asked Questions

What institutional buyers ask about Alphaex Card.

If you have a question that is not covered below, the institutional team is the right place to start.

Is Alphaex Card available today?

No. Alphaex Card is a roadmap product. The pilot cohort opens in Q3 2026 with a limited group of onboarded institutional clients. General availability is targeted for Q1 2027.

Onboarded Custody and Treasury Management clients can express pilot interest during onboarding. Pilot participation is at Alphaex's discretion and subject to KYB review.

Which entity issues the cards?

Alphaex Card will be issued by a regulated BIN sponsor partner under the Mastercard scheme. BIN sponsor selection is in negotiation across EU and Canadian jurisdictions, with UK issuing coverage targeted for Q4 2026 under the FCA framework.

Cards sit on top of Alphaex's Bank of Lithuania regulatory base — the same MiCA CASP application that supports Custody and Treasury Management.

Which funding sources are supported?

Cards are funded directly from custody-held balances. At launch the pilot will support USDC, USDT, EURC stablecoin balances and USD, EUR, GBP, CAD fiat balances. Additional funding sources will follow as Alphaex's custody and corridor footprint expands.

How are spend controls configured?

Every card has a named authoriser, a per-transaction ceiling, a daily spend limit, and an MCC restriction profile. Out-of-policy attempts decline at the point of sale and are logged for review. Policy is configured during onboarding and changes are version-controlled and audit-logged.

Multi-entity groups can configure independent policy per entity within a single group hierarchy.

What jurisdictions will cards be available in at launch?

The Q3 2026 pilot launches across EU member states under MiCA passporting and in Canada under FINTRAC registration. UK issuing coverage is targeted for Q4 2026. General availability across EU, UK, and Canada is planned for Q1 2027.

Cards can be used at any merchant accepting Mastercard worldwide, subject to client policy.

How does FX work at point of sale?

When a cardholder spends in a currency different from the funding balance, FX conversion happens in real time at a transparent margin disclosed up-front. Treasury teams see the margin in the policy and at every transaction. There is no hidden interchange uplift on top of the disclosed margin.

The Metal tier receives a preferential FX margin.

How does card spend appear in treasury reporting?

Card transactions appear in the same audit log as treasury operations and are included in the same board pack export — same authoriser model, same reporting formats (PDF, CSV, ERP), same reconciliation cycle. There is no separate card statement to import.

How do we apply for the pilot cohort?

Existing Custody or Treasury Management clients can express pilot interest during onboarding or by emailing the institutional team. Prospective clients should begin Custody or Treasury onboarding first; Card pilot eligibility is sequenced through that relationship.

Pilot participation is at Alphaex's discretion and subject to KYB review and active partner integration status.

Card Services Stack · Roadmap

Built on the same compliance and custody backbone.

Alphaex Card runs on the same regulatory base, custody architecture, and authoriser policy engine that Alphaex's institutional Treasury and Custody clients already use. The card is a new spend channel, not a new platform.
