Your BIN sponsor is one of the most important partners you'll have
Whether you're launching your first programme, adding a new programme, or passporting into another country, BIN sponsors play a critical role in getting a card programme live. They provide the connectivity that makes issuance possible, and the compliance backbone for regulators and local schemes that keeps it running.
Get this relationship right and it pays off twice: Working closely with the right sponsor can significantly improve your time to market and the success of your programme.
The hard part is finding one whose appetite fits yours.
This isn't a list to chase, it's a match
Thredd has spent years building working relationships with BIN sponsors across every major region and vertical. We know their appetite and the programmes they want to back. So when we make an introduction, it's warm, and the sponsor already has reason to be interested in you.
A network built over years Thredd's sponsor network is established, global, and working, not assembled on request.
Global reach. Sponsors across every major region, matched to where you operate.
Verticals we support
Prepaid, Debit & Credit
Support prepaid, debit and credit programmes with sponsors matched to your product, market and growth plans.

Sponsors specialise and set their appetite by a range of factors: client maturity, time in market, use case, and more.
We help identify the best fit, and can layer in services like Fraud Transaction Monitoring (FTM) and 3DS for day-one compliance.
Established, not improvised. Real, active relationships. Warm introductions, not cold outreach made on your behalf.
Pre-qualified introductions
Before any introduction, Thredd scores your programme against each sponsor's ideal customer profile: Region, use case, card networks, programme type, licensing and volumes.
Your Business Requirements Validation document captures your programme requirements and enables us to qualify your opportunity, assess sponsor fit, and create a tailored shortlist of potential partners.
So when you meet a sponsor, the fit is already there.
A dedicated team
Consultative, not transactional. We have a dedicated BIN sponsor team who manage these relationships and act as your concierge through the journey:
☑️ Partnership Manager: Pipeline reviews and managed referrals
☑️ Implementation Manager: Your build, with sponsor sign-off at every milestone
☑️ Operational point of contact: Programme reviews, ticket oversight, change management once live
From match to live, faster
A shortlist instead of a search. A warm introduction instead of a cold pitch.
A faster path through diligence, because the fit was right before the conversation began.
