Activate a physical card.

A physical card is initially blocked for transactions until activated. This prevents unauthorized use until the cardholder takes delivery. You do not have to activate a card to tokenize it for a digital wallet.

Notes

• Besides activating a new card, you can use this endpoint to activate (renew) an old card with a new expiration date. For more information, refer to the Card renewal guide.

• This endpoint generates a Card updated event. For activation, operation_type = ACTIVATE. For renewal, operation_type = EXPIRATION_DATE_RENEWED.
