Our take
Mesa is a mortgage fintech offering homeowners 1% cash back on mortgage payments and a rewards credit card tailored to home-related expenses. The card earns points on mortgage payments, utilities, repairs, groceries, and gas, providing more value on essential spending.
The card, issued by Celtic Bank, is not tied to the home and offers points that can be redeemed for cash back, travel, or applied toward mortgage payments. Mesa also plans to offer discounts on home improvement and big-box memberships to enhance its homeowners-focused rewards.
Despite challenges in the mortgage fintech market, Mesa has secured substantial funding. With its unique mix of mortgage loans and rewards, it's well-positioned for growth as it scales and brings more value to homeowners.
