Company mission
To democratize card issuance and empower any company, at any size, in any industry, to design and launch new kinds of card programs.
100% employee growth in 12 months
Our take
The advent of FinTech has ushered in whole new industries in the financial world. Apto Payments is creating a new frontier in the payments-as-a-service space, card issuance.
The startup’s turnkey service allows any business from any industry to instantly create and issue their own debit or credit cards. As a result, Apto has opened a unique channel for user retention and engagement.
The company is now focused on expanding its products to offer its customer community convenient ways to integrate themselves and their customers into the flourishing crypto ecosystem.
Apto’s next cohort of customers will be the hardest to win. While they have had impressive success creating card programs for the forward-looking tech companies of California, creating crypto card programs for more hesitant consumer brands might prove more challenging.
