CardSwipe

For card issuers and affiliate partners

Reach a cardholder at the counter, not in a comparison table

CardSwipe tells someone which card to use at the merchant they are standing at, on the Lock Screen, before the phone is unlocked. It does that without collecting a single credential, and it carries no paid placement. How the ranking is computed.

What a partnership is worth

Top-of-wallet share, not just new accounts

Most rewards tools optimise the application. CardSwipe optimises the swipe. When your card is the right one at that counter, the cardholder is told so before they pay, which puts spend on your product rather than on whichever card is physically in front.

Acquisition with a stated reason

Cardholders declare the products they already carry, so a gap is visible: no grocery card, nothing earning on travel booked direct. An apply link can be shown where that gap is costing the user measurable money, with the number next to it, rather than as an untargeted advertisement.

Your published terms, rendered correctly

Multipliers, caps, quarterly rotators, activation state and exclusions are carried as data and shown with their limits attached. When terms change, the rule changes with them. Fewer cardholders acting on a rate that expired two quarters ago.

No credentials, no scraping, no aggregation risk

CardSwipe holds no bank usernames, passwords, tokens, card numbers or transaction history, and it does not log into or scrape issuer portals. There is no credential store to breach, and a partnership carries none of the exposure that comes with aggregation.

Attribution you can audit

Each product routes through a single redirect path, so reporting is per link and per placement. We report what the link did; we do not claim influence we cannot show.

Brand safety by construction

The product voice states facts and admits uncertainty. Nothing implies endorsement or partnership where none exists, and any paid link, when there is one, will be labelled where it appears rather than in a footer nobody opens.

How your card appears in CardSwipe

Two surfaces, both showing the same thing: your product, your published rate, and what it returns on a $100 purchase.

  • Your Card$3.20

  • A travel card$0.80

Your product name, your published rate, and the limit that applies, stated where the cardholder is deciding. Placement is earned by the rate, never bought.

What CardSwipe will not do, at any price

  • Ranking is never for sale. A payout cannot move a card above one that returns the cardholder more.
  • No paid placement disguised as a recommendation. Anything sponsored is labelled where it appears.
  • No cardholder credentials, and no cardholder data sold or brokered to anyone, including partners.
  • No claim of issuer endorsement. Card and issuer names are used factually, never as a badge.

Shapes a partnership can take

Apply links, later

Not live yet. There are no affiliate links anywhere on this site today, and nothing on the page is paid placement. When that changes, each card will route through one path on this domain so a link can be swapped, paused or pulled without a site release, and every one will be labelled where it appears.

Terms feed

Send changes to earn rules, caps and offer windows and they land in the app as rules, not as marketing copy. Free, and useful to both sides.

Co-marketing at launch

Launch is late 2026. Early partners get named in launch material where the naming is factual and the disclosure is visible.

Talk to us before launch

Send the products you want covered, the network you run apply links through, and the contact who signs off on terms changes. CardSwipe launches on iOS 18 and watchOS 11, US cards in late 2026.
