Visa is a global payments network that enables funds to be sent directly to eligible Visa cards. With transfers to card, you can disburse funds to a recipient's Visa card without needing their bank account details, making it a fast and convenient option for paying sellers, gig workers, and contractors.

Transfer to Visa
To create a transfer to a Visa card, specify the beneficiary type as CARD and provide the required beneficiary information. Airwallex resolves the card brand (Visa) automatically from the card number.
| Required fields | Permitted Data | Notes |
|---|---|---|
token | Tokenized card number | The tokenized recipient's card number. Collect this using the Embedded Beneficiary component. |
cardholder_name | 2-200 characters | Must match the cardholder name as registered with the issuing bank. |
expiry_year | 4-digit year | Expiry year of the card. |
expiry_month | 2-digit month | Expiry month of the card. |
address | Card billing address | Should not be a PO or GPO box address. |
Refer to the dynamic schemaAPI for the precise field requirements and permitted values specific to your transfer scenario. As this is a beta release, the card beneficiary schema is controlled by account feature flags — please ensure your account has been enabled.
PCI-DSS compliance
Non-PCI compliant platforms must use the Embedded Beneficiary component to collect card details from end users. The component returns a tokenized payload to the platform, ensuring the platform never has access to the raw card number.
