# Card Profiles
The Card Profiles page allows you to define the templates that govern how cards are generated and issued across Udara360. A profile ties together the card programme, the host financial institution responsible for processing, the scheme (such as Verve or Visa), and how long the card remains valid before it expires. Every batch and individual card request you make elsewhere in this section depends on a profile being set up here first. This guide will walk you through creating and managing card profiles.
