Activate card

Activates a new card. When issuing a new physical card or a new virtual card, it will have a default status of 4 (not activated). The cardholder will need to activate the card by passing the sensitive card details through this endpoint (cardNumber, expMonth, expYear and cvv). They will also need to set their new personal identification number (PIN) at this time.

This will automatically change the card's status to 1 (active), set the PIN to the newPin and authenticate the association with the correct cardholder.

A card can't be reverted to an inactive state after it's been activated. It is possible, however, to toggle a card's status between 1 (active) and 2 (on hold) using the change card status endpoint.
