At Final, we are re-building the credit card from the ground up. Final is issuing a credit card that gives consumers total control over their merchant relationships, transparency in their spending, and piece of mind across all payment experiences. Rather than a single, 16-digit card number, Final generates multiple card numbers and manages them automatically. It works everywhere you buy; online, and offline, and integrates with digital wallets like Google Wallet and ApplePay with zero updates to the payment infrastructure. Bottom line - with Final, you’ll never lose access to your spending ability from a breach, fraud, cancelled or stolen card ever again.
