Abstract: Systems and methods for processing card fulfillment requests are provided. A card fulfillment request associated with a financial institution and including information associated with an account at the financial institution may be received, and an account identifier for the account may be identified. Information associated with one or more instant issuance requests for the financial institution that have previously been approved for fulfillment may be obtained. Based upon a comparison of the identified account identifier to one or more account identifiers associated with the instant issuance requests, a determination may be made as to whether the identified account identifier corresponds to one of the account identifiers associated with the one or more instant issuance requests. If a correspondence is found, then a determination may be made that the card fulfillment request is not to be fulfilled. Otherwise, a determination may be made that the card fulfillment request be fulfilled.
