# Set Default Card Art

> <a href="/card-issuance/v1.6/guide/card-products" style={{display:'inline-block',padding:'2px 10px',borderRadius:'9999px',fontSize:'12px',fontWeight:600,lineHeight:'18px',background:'#EEF2FF',color:'#4338CA',border:'1px solid #C7D2FE',textDecoration:'none'}}>Personal Visa only</a>

Sets the default card art for the issuing account. Subsequent [Create Card](/card-issuance/v1.6/api-reference/create-card) requests that omit `card_art_id` will use this card art.

Passing the channel's system-default card art clears any explicit default; the account then falls back to the system default. See [Card art](/card-issuance/v1.6/guide/card-art) for the full resolution order.

  title: Issuing API
  version: 0.0.1
  description: >
    UQPAY Issuing API allows you to issue virtual cards, manage cardholders, and
    monitor card transactions.


    ## What you can do

    - Create and manage virtual cards (issue, activate, freeze, cancel)

    - Onboard and verify cardholders with KYC

    - Set spending limits and card controls

    - Recharge and withdraw card balances

    - Query card transactions and account balances

    - Transfer funds between issuing accounts

    - Generate and download reports


    ## Authentication

    All requests require a valid auth token obtained via the [Access
    Token](/account-center/v1.6/api-reference/access-token) endpoint. Include
    the token in the `x-auth-token` header.


    ## Idempotency

    POST requests support the `x-idempotency-key` header to safely retry without
    creating duplicate resources.
