About Lithic

Lithic provides a robust card issuing platform and developer-friendly APIs that enable businesses to create, manage, and process virtual and physical payment cards. They help some of the world's fastest-growing digital banks, fintech companies, and software companies process billions in transactions annually. Founded in 2014, Lithic (originally Privacy.com) recognized the outdated nature of legacy issuer processors and built a modern solution from scratch. Their platform simplifies card issuance, authorization, and transaction processing, offering features like instant issuance, spend controls, and dispute management. Lithic powers card programs for over 100 innovative clients, transforming payments across credit, disbursements, and digital banking.

How We Work

Lithic transitioned to a remote-first approach in March 2020, offering flexibility for employees to work from anywhere. While a distributed team is welcome to stay fully remote, employees in the NYC area are encouraged to work from the SoHo office three days a week, with Tuesdays and Thursdays being core in-office days. They believe in-person collaboration boosts creativity, communication, and agility. The company values being a good neighbor, fostering an accepting and inclusive workplace, and inviting diverse ideas. Customer centricity is paramount; decisions are made considering their impact on clients. They also emphasize delivering excellence, setting ambitious goals, and continuously striving for growth.
