Card network

Also called card scheme

What crypto means by it

Visa or Mastercard. They do not issue your card and do not hold your money. They run the rails the authorisation travels on and write the rules everyone else follows.

What you already know this as

Identical, and just as widely misunderstood. The name printed on the card is the network, the name in the app is the issuer, and they are rarely the same company.

In Kite: The Kite Stable Card runs on Visa, so it works anywhere Visa is accepted.
