Yendo, the financial technology company redefining credit access for nonprime consumers, the launch of the Yendo Unsecured Card. The new product brings premium features, fair pricing, and cash-back rewards to a segment of borrowers long accustomed to high fees, limited choices, and little room to grow. The announcement comes as inflation and rising debt levels continue to squeeze household budgets, making access to fair, flexible credit more urgent than ever.
“Nonprime consumers have never had a real menu of options when it comes to borrowing,” said Jordan Miller, CEO and co-founder of Yendo. “They either accept the fees, accept the restrictions, or go without. Yendo was created to change that, making affordable credit more accessible to the people who need it most. Completing our card suite means that no matter a consumer’s situation, there’s a Yendo product designed to meet their needs.”
The launch marks the expansion of Yendo’s credit card suite, which now includes its flagship vehicle-secured card, the recently introduced homeowner card and an unsecured option that requires no security. The homeowner card, which allows borrowers to leverage assets in their home to access higher credit limits, has been chosen by nearly 20% of all new cardholders since its introduction six months ago. Together, the three products give consumers the ability to choose the type of credit that fits their life, and to move between products as their circumstances change.
The three-card lineup is designed to function as a connected ecosystem. A customer who sells their vehicle and no longer qualifies for Yendo’s secured auto card, for example, can transition seamlessly to the unsecured card, keeping their credit history, payment record, and any rewards they’ve earned. As customers’ financial profiles evolve, Yendo can route them toward the product that best serves their needs, whether that means adding assets to unlock a higher credit limit or moving to a fully unsecured product.
The unsecured card market has long been divided into two camps: products with steep annual fees that can reach $200 or more on cards with modest credit limits, or bare-bones cards with low fees but severe restrictions, no rewards, and no path forward for cardholders.
The Unsecured Card launches with unlimited 1.5% cash back on all purchases. Yendo cardholders also have the option to add their asset to their credit card, which can result in credit limits of 500% or more at significantly lower rates.
Yendo has been leveraging AI since the first LLM models showed up in the marketplace. This has enabled the company to control the operational costs associated with serving mainstreet cardholders and pass those benefits on to their customers in the form of high credit limits, market leading interest rates, and prime rewards.
