OUR SERVICES – GIFT CARD ISSUING

Closed-loop gift cards are issued by a variety of issuers. Some retailers directly issue the cards themselves. Some elect to use a wholly owned subsidiary, known as a GiftCo, to issue the cards. Others may use an unaffiliated third party to issue the cards sometimes referred to as a CARDCO®. Others may use a bank to issue the cards. Card Compliant offers services regarding all forms of gift card issuance.
