Integration Guide

Falcon offers a modern, secure, and scalable platform to help banks, NBFCs, and fintechs launch retail co-branded credit cards quickly and efficiently. Whether you're building a standalone mobile banking app or embedding card issuance capabilities into an existing digital product, the Falcon Secure SDK simplifies the entire customer lifecycle — from onboarding and verification to secure transactions and real-time statement delivery.

🔒 Why Use the Falcon Secure SDK for Retail Co-Branded Credit Cards?

Launching a retail co-branded credit card requires comprehensive integration across authentication, compliance, transaction management, and user experience — and that’s exactly where the Falcon SDK excels. Here’s why:

• Faster Time to Market: Avoid the complexity of building secure workflows from scratch. The SDK encapsulates best practices for device binding, token management, and KYC onboarding — so you can focus on your product, not plumbing.
• Built-in Security: With features like SIM binding, end-to-end encryption, and secure SMS verification, Falcon ensures regulatory-grade protection against fraud and identity misuse.
• Optimized for Credit Use Cases: The SDK is purpose-built for lending and card-based experiences — including eligibility checks, dynamic limit management, repayment tracking, and more.
• Designed for Co-Brand Scalability: Support multi-bank or multi-brand logic, enabling partners to launch, manage, and scale different co-branded programs from a single integration point.
• Cross-Platform Support: Available for both Android (via AAR) and iOS (via XCFramework) to seamlessly support native mobile development.
