Freeze a card to block spend temporarily, then unfreeze to re-enable it. Freezing is reversible. Permanent termination is currently unavailable through the public API; freeze does not close the issuer card. Repeated explicitly confirmed insufficient-funds declines may trigger a protective freeze. Generic declines and provider availability errors do not count as insufficient-funds strikes. A protective freeze leaves the card’s funds in place; it does not return them to the funding wallet.
Card endpoints use the same base URL and API key as the rest of the API, and are signature-gated: send X-Numero-Signature and X-Numero-Signature-Version: v2 as well. See Request signing.
