# Batch Cards Request (ISW)
The Batch Cards Request page allows you to request cards in bulk rather than issuing them one at a time, this is useful when onboarding a large number of customers under the same card profile, such as during a fresh account opening drive or a card migration exercise. Each batch is processed against a card profile and host financial institution, and you can track its progress from generation right through to delivery. This guide will walk you through requesting a batch, monitoring its status, and managing the request once it's underway.
