In August 2017 Optimus Cards became a Principal Member of Mastercard, the only non-regulated financial institution to have this status. The certificate of Principal Membership of Mastercard is available on request. Principal membership gives Optimus Cards a unique competitive edge in both the UK and the Republic of Ireland as follows:

  • access to benefits that accrue to regulated financial institutions
  • ease of on-boarding regulated credit unions and financial institutions
  • results in Optimus Cards’ card users being issuers of their own cards
  • ease of product diversification

Optimus Cards will be the first Principal Member to run MasterPass (a virtual wallet) unique cardholder benefits to include control over spend etc.

As a Principal Member of mastercard, the only other institutions that can offer scheme sponsorship are the major banks - these major banks cannot match Optimus Cards on agility or time to market. Our offer is more technologically advanced than any others currently on the market, offering a complete end to end solution which is unrivalled scope and value for money. Optimus will support Mambu customers by providing card services and card support.

Optimus powers the customers like London Mutual Credit Union, 1st Alliance Credit Union and Tusmor Limited.
