## Source summary

PYMNTS reports that iPayLinks selected Thredd to provide processing, BIN and program setup, 3-D Secure and fraud-monitoring support for a virtual commercial debit-card program. iPayLinks is described as the issuer and intends the card to extend its cross-border business-payment offering. The program is expected to launch by the end of the third quarter of 2026 and is not yet reported as live.
