Mission Lane:Mission Lane is based in the U.S., with offices in
Richmond, Virginia & San Francisco, California. Founded in December
2018, we've rapidly grown to almost 2 million customers.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. And by "clear" we mean credit without crazy fees that only
increase debt. Most traditional credit card companies either
overlook or overcharge this group because they have less-than-prime
credit scores or no score at all. We decided this just wouldn't
do.We understand that everyone doesn't have the same opportunities.
We also know that everyone joins us at different stages of their
financial journeys. Providing access to clear credit was a critical
first step, but our work isn't done. We are actively developing new
products designed to meet our customers where they are, according
to their needs.We get it - life happens . That's why Mission Lane
is hard at work paving a better way forward.Just like for our
customers, Mission Lane creates opportunities for our employees to
learn, grow, and prosper. We strive to create an environment that
brings out the best in everyone, everyday.Mission Lane is an Equal
Opportunity Employer committed to diversity and inclusion in the
