Fintech issuer aimed at fair or limited credit applicants.
About Mission Lane
Mission Lane is a fintech card company best known for credit cards aimed at people with fair or limited credit, including the Mission Lane Visa Credit Card, the Mission Lane Cash Back Visa and the Mission Lane Secured Visa. Its cards are issued by Transportation Alliance Bank (TAB Bank) or WebBank, and it markets its tiers under names such as the Green Line, Gold Line and Silver Line Visa.
Mission Lane suits you if a big bank has declined you, or you want a first unsecured card and prefer to see your terms before a hard inquiry; its prequalification form uses a soft pull and shows your card terms right away if you prequalify. The limitation: cards for fair credit often come with high APRs, and some offers include an annual fee, so read the terms carefully, keep your balance low and pay in full when you can to avoid costly interest.
