Buffer for Cards

Introducing Buffer: An innovative solution for card payments

Buffer is an add-on card product that aims to transform the way payments are made. Enable your customers to link non-fiat accounts that have different types of investments – such as crypto or exchange-traded funds – to a payment card.

Buffer takes the hassle away from your customers to first sell, exchange or liquidate investments and assets, then transfer them to the desired account so they're finally available – often days later.

With our payment cards equipped with Buffer, your customers will notice no difference at the point of sale, but will pay seamlessly.

Access investments immediately

Buffer opens up a range of new service opportunities based on the cardholder's investments and offers the customer a real choice to access funds when needed.

When things get tight on the checking account, Buffer allows your customers to switch to an alternative source of funding in the background: flexibility has never been so easy.

Your customers benefit from an unparalleled user experience.

Solving an investment dilemma

People who invest often face the problem of having to transfer money from one account to another so that the preferred payment card can always be used.

It takes time, multiple apps need to be installed, and if the customer is offline, it may not work at all. Especially when it comes to very different types of investments, such as stocks, exchange-traded funds, or cryptocurrencies.

Buffer helps your customers solve this time-consuming task - elegantly and efficiently.

Fully safeguarded

We offer you a special and highly secure ring-fenced account, through which all your customers' accesses are handled. We manage only the transactions. The capital in this account is always your property.

Easy to integrate

Solaris partners don't need a new application to integrate Buffer – we just add it as an additional service. Our APIs make this a smooth process.

Create more payment options

Your customers can simply use shares of investments or assets, even precious metals, to make payments without having to worry about conversions and transfers. A smart digital conversion service enables real-time monetization of all types of funds.
