Payments Infrastructure
That Just Works

Before Lithic, we started Privacy.com in 2014 to build the safest and easiest way for consumers to pay online. We worked with a legacy issuer processor and it took us over a year to launch a card program. Even after we were up and running, scaling and ongoing maintenance were a pain.

From this experience, we learned first hand that the financial services supply chain is broken—in the United States, the industry is still dominated by 30 year old companies that run on mainframes.

So we built Lithic, the issuing and processing infrastructure we always wanted, with developer-friendly, modern, well-documented APIs, insanely fast speed-to-market, and flawless reconciliation—purpose-built to give card issuers extremely high levels of observability, control, and flexibility over their card programs.

Today, we power card programs for dozens of innovative fintechs—and we’re just getting started.
