## Scale with a trusted advisor

Tap into the expertise and guidance of payments experts who have spent years crafting, implementing, and delivering the most innovative payment solutions.

## Overview

Credit cards have become a ubiquitous financial tool for both businesses and individual consumers to earn rewards and manage expenses.

They remain one of the most popular ways to pay among consumers — 82% of U.S. adults have a credit card, according to the Federal Reserve Bank. Similarly, 67% of small businesses leverage credit cards for their operations.

Yet, the technology that backs this popular payment method hasn’t changed significantly since the 70s, and today’s fintechs, brands, and banks have limited ability to customize their programs and adapt them to changing customer needs.

## Solution

Marqeta’s credit platform gives financial brands and innovators the speed to market and level of control they need to power the next generation of credit.
