AWS announced support for Cartes Bancaires in AWS Payment Cryptography. You can read the official announcement here: https://aws.amazon.com/about-aws/whats-new/2026/02/payment-cryptography-cartes-bancaires/
I was not there for the final announcement, but I was heavily involved in the work that made it possible.
A large part of that work was audit readiness and making sure the implementation would satisfy the requirements for approval. Cartes Bancaires was still developing their audit program while we were going through the process, which added complexity.
I worked directly with Deloitte through the review and was on every vendor call covering progress, evidence, gaps, and what was needed to get across the finish line. Most of the work is not visible from the outside. It was documentation, evidence, validation, follow-up, and making sure assertions matched what could actually be defended during audit. That work is rarely visible, but it is what makes launch possible.
