  title: KemyCard API
  version: '1.0'
  description: >
    KemyCard API allows you to issue virtual and physical cards, manage KYC/POA
    verification,

    create crypto wallets, virtual bank accounts, purchase gift cards and send
    payouts to bank accounts (SEPA Instant

    in EUR, ACH in USD to the United States).


    Access depends on your plan (see [Plans and
    Pricing](/getting-started/plans)). The free Découverte plan gives

    access to virtual cards with the KYC and POA endpoints and to payouts (SEPA
    and ACH), within monthly limits (25 cards

    created and 5,000 USD loaded on cards per calendar month, 5,000 USD of
    payouts per calendar month), 30 requests

    per minute per API key, 2 allowed IP addresses and 1 active webhook
    endpoint. Starter, Business and Premium give access to every product with no
    monthly limit,

    100 requests per minute per API key, 10 allowed IP addresses and 10 active
    webhook endpoints.


    Plan errors: `402 PLAN_UPGRADE_REQUIRED` (product not included in your
    plan), `403 PLAN_LIMIT_REACHED`

    (limit of your plan reached). While one of your ops balances is negative,
    every request other than `GET`

    returns `403 ACCOUNT_SUSPENDED_NEGATIVE_BALANCE`.
