In the Twilio world, I can do something like this, via the command line and their API:

- activate new phone number

- send SMS from that number

- deactivate number

I have not ever done that particular workflow, but I could.

Who is the Twilio of payments/fintech wherein I could perform a workflow like this:

- generate new CC number in my name

- set transaction limit(s) and expiry 10 days from now

- (go use that CC in real life)

- deactivate the CC

or maybe:

- disable existing card

- reenable existing card

I know I could do this if I wrote the API myself and had a big, complicated, sticky relationship with a bank ... but does someone let me do things like this if I am just an end-user (like Twilio does) ?
