About Us
At Imprint, we are revolutionizing the landscape of co-branded credit cards and financial products, making them smarter, more rewarding, and fundamentally centered around our partner brands. We collaborate with esteemed companies such as Crate & Barrel, Rakuten, Booking.com, H-E-B, Fetch, and Brooks Brothers to launch innovative credit programs that enhance customer loyalty, unlock savings, and fuel business growth. Our cutting-edge platform integrates advanced payment systems, intelligent underwriting, and a seamless user experience, empowering brands to offer impactful financial solutions without the complexities of becoming a bank.
Co-branded cards represent over $300 billion in annual spending in the U. S., yet many are still reliant on outdated banking systems. Imprint stands as the modern alternative: adaptable, technology-driven, and designed for the contemporary consumer. Supported by industry leaders like Kleiner Perkins, Thrive Capital, and Khosla Ventures, we are assembling a world-class team dedicated to redefining payment methods and enhancing brand growth. If you thrive in a fast-paced environment, relish tackling complex challenges, and aspire to make a meaningful impact, we invite you to join us.
