“At Mercury Financial, we are devoted to our more than one million customers, who are hardworking Americans. We are committed to helping our customers achieve better credit to enable a better life. This starts with offering a credit solution that meets the consumer’s financial needs and improves their financial experience,” said James Peterson, Chief Executive Officer of Mercury® Financial. “We’re proud to partner with Visa as we continue to deliver on our mission.”

As part of the partnership, Mercury customers will continue to receive the following benefits in addition to Mercury’s other product features:

• Cashback rewards on purchases
• Zero fraud liability
• Fraud protection
• Worldwide acceptance

Mercury® Financial serves over one million cardmembers and manages more than $4.7 billion in credit access in pursuit of increased financial inclusion and improved cardmember experience.

“We are excited to collaborate with Mercury Financial on a branded credit card their new customers can use on our trusted network,” said Kimberly Lawrence, Head of U.S. at Visa. “At Visa, our purpose is to uplift everyone, everywhere by being the best way to pay and be paid. This partnership is another step in our mission to accelerate financial inclusion and help more people get access to the global economy.”

Recently, IBS Intelligence reported that Highnote had expanded its partnership with Visa, which includes full certification as a Visa issuer processor. This significant milestone paves the way for innovative enterprises to leverage the Visa network to bring differentiated consumer or commercial card programs across prepaid, debit, and credit use cases to market.
