i2c Teams With Access Finance to Expand Credit Card in US

Banking/payment solutions provider i2c has teamed with Bulgarian FinTech Access Finance.

The collaboration, announced in a news release Monday (April 7), will help Access introduce the next phase of its Juzt Digital Credit Card program in the U.S.

“The expanded Juzt Digital Credit Card program, which leverages i2c’s global, unified banking and payments platform, offers an unsecured digital credit card aimed at helping consumers build and strengthen their credit histories,” the release said.

In removing the requirement for collateral, the card offers a more inclusive approach, catering to consumers in the subprime category or those who wish to establish a strong credit record, the companies added.

“This ongoing partnership with Access Finance highlights the versatility of i2c’s platform in supporting complex credit programs and expanding financial access,” said i2c chief executive Amir Wain. “We’re excited to continue supporting Access Finance in their mission to provide U.S. consumers with meaningful credit-building tools that can help shape a more financially inclusive future.”

Working with The Bank of Missouri as the issuing bank, Access Finance aims to bridge a gap in the U.S. market by offering accessible credit options that also serve as effective tools for building credit.

“Access Finance is committed to helping consumers take control of their financial futures by providing accessible credit-building opportunities through the Juzt card,” said Ivan Arnaudov, CEO of Access Finance, in the release. “In partnership with i2c, we deliver a seamless, digital-first solution that empowers users to establish or improve their credit, no matter where they are on their financial journey.”

i2c provides credit solutions for various issuers, including FinTechs and traditional financial institutions, leveraging over 20 years of experience in global payments. Its unified platform offers a foundation for transaction processing, portfolio reporting and network integration with major payment networks.

It also provides tools for cardholder engagement, including flexible loyalty program configuration, various reward currencies, and a communication manager for trigger-based communications, as well as fraud and risk management solutions.
