A travel perk your cardholders will actually use
Offer travel eSIM as a cardholder benefit.
- SOC 2 Type II
- GDPR & VAPT-aligned
- Under 2 weeks to launch
Roaming has always been the awkward edge of a card program — cardholders pay foreign transaction fees on one hand and then hunt for a local SIM the moment they land. A branded travel eSIM closes that gap: it's a perk cardholders actually use on every trip, not a one-time signup bonus that gets forgotten, and it gives issuers a recurring touchpoint tied to travel spend rather than a static line on a benefits PDF. Because activation is a digital eSIM rather than a physical card, there's no reissue cycle, no mailing address to verify, and no waiting period between approving the perk and a cardholder actually using it — someone can activate it from their banking app minutes before boarding.
For a card issuer, most travel benefits are either expensive to administer (lounge access, insurance underwriting) or invisible until a cardholder needs them (trip insurance, emergency assistance). A connectivity perk sits in a different category: cardholders encounter the need — no signal at arrival — on essentially every international trip, which makes it one of the few benefits an issuer can point to as actually redeemed rather than merely offered. Because it's digital-first, it also avoids the two things that usually slow a card benefit rollout: card reissue logistics and a waiting period between approval and use.
What banks and card issuers get
Fully white-label — cardholders see your brand, never Zetexa's, from app to activation email
Tiered plans by card level (platinum, gold, standard) so the perk scales with your product line
Lifetime-validity eSIM — a durable cardholder asset, not a one-trip freebie that expires unused
Wallet-based billing: fund allocations per card tier and only pay for data actually redeemed
Instant eSIM activation — no physical card reissue, no waiting for a SIM in the mail
Usage dashboards for your ops and marketing teams to track redemption by segment
SOC 2 Type II, GDPR, and VAPT-aligned infrastructure suitable for regulated financial institutions
Access to 300+ mobile networks and 450+ MNOs/MVNOs through a single integration
Built on infrastructure already serving 2,000+ B2B partners, with 1,800+ flexible plan SKUs
How banks launch a connectivity perk
Typical integration runs under two weeks — most of that is deciding the model, not building it.
- 1
Choose the model — a bundled free perk on premium cards, or a paid upgrade cardholders purchase in-app
- 2
Set data allowances and destination coverage per card tier
- 3
Launch via API, SDK, or a hosted storefront — no card reissue or physical logistics required
- 4
Track activation and usage from the dashboard, and adjust tiers or allowances as the program matures
Zetexa vs. a typical roaming partnership
| Capability | Zetexa | Typical Roaming Partnership |
|---|---|---|
| Cardholder branding | Fully white-label, your app and name | Co-branded at best |
| Activation | Instant eSIM, no card reissue | Physical SIM mailed to cardholder |
| Billing model | Wallet-based, pay only for usage | Flat monthly fee regardless of redemption |
| Coverage | 200+ countries, 300+ networks, 450+ MNOs/MVNOs on one integration | Limited to partner's own roaming network |
| Compliance | SOC 2 Type II, GDPR, VAPT-aligned; FCC, CRTC; licensed in the UK, USA, Canada and UAE | Varies by partner, often single-jurisdiction |
Compliance for regulated institutions
For a regulated institution, the infrastructure runs SOC 2 Type II, GDPR, and VAPT-aligned, with FCC (USA) and CRTC (Canada) coverage, and telecom licences in the UK, USA, Canada and the UAE — the same compliance bar a bank's own risk and compliance team would expect from any vendor touching cardholder-facing infrastructure. This runs on the same infrastructure layer already carrying live traffic for 2,000+ B2B partners across banking, travel, and telecom, rather than a bespoke integration built and tested for the first time on your card program.
B2B partners
Les questions que nous posent nos partenaires
No. The eSIM activates digitally through your app or a branded activation link — no card reissue or physical SIM logistics involved.
Yes — plans can be tiered by card level (platinum, gold, standard, etc.), with data allowances and destination coverage set per tier.

Zetexa's infrastructure is SOC 2 Type II, GDPR, and VAPT-aligned, with additional compliance covering FCC (USA) and CRTC (Canada), and telecom licences in the UK, USA, Canada and the UAE — built for regulated financial institutions.
