Marqeta

Marqeta is the world’s first open API modern card issuing platform. Before Marqeta, if a company wanted to issue a credit or debit card to its customers or employees, they had to work with legacy banks, which was a slow, rigid, and painful process. Marqeta changed everything by allowing developers to create physical, virtual, and tokenized cards instantly using code. They are the 'engine' behind giants like Uber (for driver payouts), DoorDash (for Dasher cards), Instacart, and Square (Cash App), enabling them to control exactly how, when, and where a transaction is approved.
