About Us
At Imprint, we are revolutionizing the landscape of co-branded credit cards and financial products, making them smarter, more rewarding, and fundamentally brand-centric. Our partnerships with leading brands such as Crate & Barrel, Rakuten, Booking.com, H-E-B, Fetch, and Brooks Brothers empower us to launch innovative credit programs that enhance customer loyalty, unlock significant savings, and drive business growth. Our advanced platform integrates cutting-edge payment infrastructure with intelligent underwriting and an intuitive user experience, enabling brands to offer powerful financial solutions without the complexities of becoming a traditional bank.
With co-branded cards accounting for over $300 billion in annual spending in the U. S. and most still relying on outdated banking systems, Imprint stands as the modern alternative: flexible, technology-driven, and tailored for today’s consumer. Supported by esteemed investors such as Kleiner Perkins, Thrive Capital, and Khosla Ventures, we are assembling a world-class team to innovate how payments are made and how brands evolve. If you thrive in a fast-paced environment, enjoy tackling complex challenges, and want to make a tangible difference, we invite you to join us.
