The firm is dedicated to increasing financial availability and choice through its two primary business lines: Partner Solutions and Commercial Finance. Pathward's core business revolves around providing Banking as a Service (BaaS) solutions. This model allows the company to act as the banking infrastructure for third-party fintech partners, who in turn deliver a variety of financial products to their end customers.
The company's offerings are comprehensive, covering a wide spectrum of payment and lending services. Through its partnerships, Pathward facilitates prepaid and debit card issuing, merchant acquiring, digital payments, and consumer lending solutions.
