A card issuing platform that sells APIs for creating, processing, and managing debit and credit card programs.

**Why it's on the map:** Sells the same modern card-issuing API infrastructure that Stripe Issuing offers, putting both on a buyer's shortlist for embedded payment cards.

**Receipts** (verbatim from its page this run):

> The card issuing platform built for debit credit flexible credentials prepaid

> use Marqeta to deliver exceptional debit and credit card experiences

> Use open APIs to create new payment products or streamline supplier and workforce payments
