Lithic
Developer-focused card issuer processing platform for debit, credit, prepaid, and virtual cards via APIs.
About
Lithic builds card issuer processing infrastructure for developers: card issuing (credit, debit, prepaid), ledgering, transaction processing, fraud controls, ACH and wire. Direct connections to Visa, Mastercard, and American Express.
Founded in 2014 by the team behind Privacy.com after they hit the limits of the legacy issuer processor they were using. Now powers card programs for 100+ companies including Mercury, Novo, Coinstar, Flex, Tremendous, and Atlas, processing billions in volume.
Mission, in their words: "Access to better financial products materially improves people's lives." Backed by Bessemer, Index Ventures, Spark Capital, and Teamworthy.
