Highnote Expands Payment Platform to Power Consumer Credit Programs

The breakneck speed of the evolving fintech landscape waits for no one. Consumer preferences are becoming increasingly sophisticated, and with them, the market for credit services has grown in complexity and competitiveness as well.

It’s amid this backdrop that we at Highnote are thrilled to announce an expansion of our product. Already renowned for our debit, prepaid, and fleet issuing card platform, we are proud to say that we now power consumer revolving credit card products. This expansion marks a pivotal moment for us, signaling our commitment to providing comprehensive, cutting-edge financial solutions that empower fintechs, brands, and banks to deliver exceptional credit services.

A Leap into the Future of Credit Services

Meticulously designed and developed by a team of world-class payments veterans, Highnote’s platform expansion ensures that customers meet the complex and evolving demands of the market. With a comprehensive range of revolving credit capabilities, ranging from underwriting support to repayment facilitation and full credit program management technology, Highnote is poised to revolutionize the way credit services are offered.

Empowering Fintechs, Brands, and Banks

Credit products operate in a complicated regulatory landscape and often require unique financial and contractual structures. In addition, any modern credit offering also requires a host of comprehensive benefits that modern consumers demand. Our expanded platform not only navigates this intricate regulatory landscape with ease but also offers some of the most complete benefits available, including payment flexibility, purchase protection, credit score improvement, and highly personalized rewards.

This comprehensive approach allows fintechs, brands, and banks to strengthen their relationships with customers by offering innovative and differentiated revolving credit programs, eliminating the need to cobble together a disparate array of third-party tools.

Credit: a Transformative Experience

John MacIlwaine, CEO and co-founder of Highnote, has this to say about our expansion: "We're stepping into a new era where credit is not just a service but a transformative experience – from underwriting to origination, issuance to financing, and ultimately ongoing servicing. With revolving credit, we are setting the stage for a future where payments are smarter, more flexible, and more aligned with a brand’s overall experience than ever before. This is just the beginning of an exciting journey, and we're thrilled to be pioneering how the world pays."
