About Lithic, Inc.:
Lithic is a modern financial infrastructure provider enabling technically ambitious teams to build better payment products that improve people's lives. Our journey began in 2014 when we founded Privacy in the aftermath of the Global Financial Crisis, providing consumers with safe, single-use virtual cards to protect their financial information. As our platform scaled, we quickly realized that existing card issuer processors weren't equipped to support the functionality we wanted to build. This led us to develop our own card issuing technology stack from the ground up—becoming our own first and most demanding customer. In 2021, we officially launched Lithic to license this infrastructure to other like-minded financial and software companies. Our central thesis remains unchanged: access to better financial products materially improves people's lives. Today, Lithic processes over $1B in monthly card volume and provides 100+ clients with critical and secure infrastructure to stand up a wide array of payments programs through physical, virtual, and tokenized cards and money movement. We underpin programs of all types: across both consumer and commercial verticals, with debit, prepaid, charge, and revolving credit products. Our clients are building the future of digital banking, launching modern credit products, and transforming how businesses handle disbursements and incentives. Our product philosophy is grounded in building developer-first primitives that give our clients choice and flexibility, while minimizing the operational and technical complexity of launching and scaling programs. We designed the Lithic platform for technically driven organizations that value flexibility, speed to market, and reliable scalability in their transaction processing. With Lithic, our clients receive comprehensive developer docs, webhooks, and APIs; the ability to self-serve debug; and automated fraud and customer controls for complete visibility and autonomy.
