# Get all Cards

> List customer virtual cards for your business

List every **customer** and **business** virtual card issued under your business. Filter by lifecycle status when you only need active or pending cards.

<Note>
  List responses include `masked_pan` only. For full `card_number` and `cvv`, call [Get a Card](/virtual-cards/get-card) on a single `card_id`.
</Note>

## How it works

1. **Call the list endpoint** with your API credentials (no body).
2. **Optionally filter** with `status` (`PENDING`, `ACTIVE`, `FROZEN`, `TERMINATED`, `FAILED`).
3. **Receive an array** of card objects with `id`, `kind`, `status`, `masked_pan`, and `balance`.

## When to use

* Populate a cards dashboard for your merchants
* Find a `card_id` before fund, withdraw, or freeze
* Reconcile how many cards are active vs terminated
