FIDEL API

Fidel API is a global card-linking platform that connects Visa, Mastercard and Amex payment cards to web and mobile applications through a single API. Once a cardholder links a card (via Fidel's PCI-compliant Web, iOS, Android or React Native SDKs), Fidel streams enriched, real-time transaction data - authorization, clearing and refund events - from the card networks to the developer's server via signed webhooks. Developers use it to build card-linked loyalty, rewards, cashback and offers programs without handling raw card data or PCI scope. The platform spans Programs, Brands, Locations, Cards, Transactions, Offers and Merchant IDs, operates test and live environments, and is available across the US, UK, Ireland, Canada, Sweden and the UAE (with Japan in beta). Founded in 2018 and headquartered in London, Fidel is backed by Bain Capital Ventures.

FIDEL API publishes 1 API on the APIs.io network. Tagged areas include Company, Fintech, Card Linking, Payments, and Transaction.

The FIDEL API catalog on APIs.io includes 1 event-driven AsyncAPI specification.

FIDEL API’s developer surface includes documentation, API reference, getting-started guide, support, engineering blog, pricing, signup flow, and 21 more developer resources.

Regulatory Posture applies to this provider. Its tags matched the Payments regime, so Regulatory Posture carries 15 points of the composite. If this regime is wrong for your business, say so on your provider repo — the applicability map is public and we will correct it.

The six quality facets above are damped to 85 points between them, because the conditional facet above carries the other 15. That is why each facet's contribution is shown against a damped maximum: raising a quality facet moves the composite by 85% of its nominal weight, not 100%. The full arithmetic is at apis.io/rating/.

Improve this rating by publishing the missing artifacts — every area above can be raised, and the full rubric is at apis.io/rating/. This rating is computed from github.com/api-evangelist/fidel-api: open an issue to ask a question, or submit a pull request to add artifacts. Want it done for you? Prioritized profiling — $2,500 →
