How Card Networks (Visa, Mastercard, Discover, Diners) Operate

Card networks like Visa, Mastercard, Discover, and Diners act as the global highways of electronic payments. They create the rules, infrastructure, and technology that allow money to move seamlessly between an issuer (the cardholder’s bank) and an acquirer (the merchant’s bank). Each time a card is tapped or entered online, the network routes the authorisation request, confirms available funds, and ensures the transaction is settled securely across borders and currencies.

Monavate operates on these same rails, not as a network, but as the sophisticated engine that makes access to them possible. Through its regulatory permissions, BIN sponsorship, and API-first platform, Monavate connects fintechs and businesses directly into Visa and Mastercard’s ecosystems. Instead of building costly infrastructure or securing their own scheme licences, innovators plug into Monavate’s ready-made connection to the networks, complete with compliance, reporting, and settlement layers already in place.

In this way, Monavate turns the global card networks from distant systems into accessible building blocks, powering new payment products, cards, and financial experiences that move as confidently as the networks themselves.
