Our take
Marqeta processes payments quickly, offering businesses a more straightforward way to take customer payments with its physical and virtual card solutions. The company has a string of major companies utilizing its flexible and scalable platform, including Uber, Doordash, and Square.
The company is rapidly expanding in Europe, with strong growth in processing volumes and new partnerships, including major collaborations with firms like Trade Republic. Along with the company's recent partnership with Visa and Affirm which introduces the Visa Flexible Credential, allowing users to access multiple payment methods on one card, adding convenience and flexibility.
With a focus on global growth and delivering innovative financial services, Marqeta is targeting new verticals and supporting underbanked businesses. With this aim, the company is on its way to deepening its impact in the fintech space and driving further innovation in payments.
