To collaborate with creative digital brands and fintechs on innovative new credit products and business models, Bend by FNBO has established new ways of working, built a brand-new cloud-native stack, and integrated with leading fintech partners including Marqeta.

Our single contract approach to doing business means we are always accountable for the successful management and operation of your program. Our strategic partner, Marqeta, brings modern processing capabilities and open APIs to the table. Together, we’ll guide your program through design, build, launch, and on to successful operation and evolution.
