# Associate noname card with customer

Bind an account and customer to a noname card, which changes its status to `CREATED`. The card is then treated as a normal physical plastic or metal card.

You have to pass this endpoint a noname card's ID. Card IDs are generated when the [Start noname card bulk process](ref:start-bulk) endpoint is called.  This endpoint generates an event for each card - [Card created](https://developers.pismo.io/events/docs/cards-create-1) - with event data that includes the card ID, bulk ID, and external ID. Refer to the [Data and reporting](doc:data-reporting-overview) guide for information on events and setting up event notifications.

The bind operation is completed asynchronously and generates a [Customer bound to noname card](https://developers.pismo.io/events/docs/cards-bind-card-1) event. Make sure the operation has completed and the event generated before attempting to access or use the associated card. 

**Card reissuing**

* You can use this endpoint to reissue a card&mdash;replacing the card to be reissued with a noname card, which is then treated as a normal physical card. If a card to be replaced is entered (`reissued_card_id`), the [Card updated](https://developers.pismo.io/events/docs/cards-update-1) event is also generated. 

* If you attempt to reissue a card to a card that has already been associated, meaning it is no longer a noname card and no longer has an `UNBOUND` status, you will get a **409 Conflict** error. 

**Note:** This endpoint requires an account token - an access token encoded with a Pismo account ID.
