The collaboration allows WebBank to issue credit card and payment solutions that include the card’s benefits.

WebBank is a Utah chartered Industrial Bank headquartered in Salt Lake City, Utah. Since its inception in 1997, WebBank has originated and funded over $155 billion in consumer and commercial credit products. The Bank is one of the leading players in the digital lending space, driving innovation in financial products through embedded finance with Strategic Partner platforms.

WebBank plans to begin issuing Amex cards through FinTechs later this year.

Recently, IBS Intelligence reported that WebBank announced it had committed to invest up to $250 million in the obligations of a securitisation structure sponsored by Avant secured by credit card receivables. The investment will meet the continuing demand and growth of the Avant MasterCard Credit Card issued by WebBank.
