Fidel

Fidel (Enigmatic Smile Ltd, trading as Fidel API) is a card-linking and payments-data platform that lets developers connect Visa, Mastercard and Amex cards to web and mobile applications through a single API. PCI-compliant card-capture SDKs (Web, iOS, Android, React Native) securely tokenize card details, and Fidel then delivers enriched, real-time transaction records to the integrator's servers over webhooks whenever a linked card is used at a participating merchant. Products include the Select Transactions API, an Offers / card-linked-rewards API, card enrollment SDKs, and attribution & insights. Founded in 2015 and headquartered in the UK, Fidel operates in the United States, United Kingdom, Ireland, Canada, Sweden and the UAE, and absorbs PCI scope on behalf of its integrators.

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

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

Fidel’s developer surface includes documentation, API reference, getting-started guide, support, engineering blog, pricing, signup flow, and 19 more developer resources.
