About Mission Lane Founded in December 2018 Mission Lane is a purpose-driven fintech company based in the U.S. with headquarters in Richmond Virginia. It all started with a realization nearly fifty percent of the adult population in the U.S. doesn’t have access to a clear line of credit. Most traditional credit card companies either overlook or overcharge this group because they have less-than-perfect credit scores or no scores at all. We decided this just wouldn’t do. In partnership with our sponsor banks we offer credit cards under the Mission Lane brand name with better clearer terms and a more refined customer experience than the alternatives available to people working hard to improve their credit. To date over four million consumers have chosen Mission Lane earning high customer ratings on Credit Karma for its market segment and industry leading Net Promoter scores. Mission Lane has cumulatively raised over $600 million of equity from leading investors including Invus Opportunities QED Investors LL Funds funds affiliated with Oaktree Capital Management and other leading investors. Our commitment to a workplace built on respect and dignity is guided by our core value of Unity. We believe that everyone plays a vital role in our shared purpose and we actively cultivate an environment where all individuals have the opportunity to do their best work. By fostering a culture of empathy and collaboration we create a strong sense of belonging and support for every team member. Mission Lane is an equal opportunity employer.
