A kortinmyöntäjä is a Finnish term that translates to "card issuer" or "permit grantor." It refers to an entity or individual authorized to issue various types of cards or permits. The specific nature of the card or permit depends on the context in which the term is used. For example, a bank can be a kortinmyöntäjä for credit or debit cards.
