Our take
The world of credit can be a murky place, however, companies such as Mission Lane are being established to bring clarity to the industry. The fintech company aims to help people with low credit build their scores and improve their financial lives – this comprises an estimated 100 million people in the US.
Originally a spinoff from the fintech company LendUp, Mission Lane fits a similar mold to larger credit cards startups such as Petal, Tally, and Brex. It uses advanced technology and machine learning to expand credit access.
Despite the global pandemic providing an uncertain backdrop, Mission Lane saw more than 100% revenue growth in its early years. More recently, it strengthened its position in the market by expanding its partnership with Plaid, working together to offer additional connected solutions to underbanked customers. With these developments, Mission Lane remains well-positioned to drive financial inclusion and support for underserved communities.
