## Company Overview

## Core Business

## Products & Services
- **Commerce Media Network (for merchants)**: A pay‑for‑performance ad solution where merchants only pay for verified purchases, not impressions. Uses transaction data from 47M+ cardholders to target new, existing, or lapsed customers with personalized offers (location‑based, tiered, spending challenges). Includes A/B testing, AI‑driven insights, and real‑time adjustments.
- **Rewards‑as‑a‑Service API Platform (for fintechs & FIs)**: An API‑first platform that allows issuers to design their own loyalty UX while Kard handles the backend – offer management, transaction tracking, push notifications, and email campaigns. PCI‑Compliant and SOC 2 certified.

  - Claims 47M+ cardholders in its network, 25K+ US locations, and metrics such as 15% re‑engagement of previously inactive cardholders and 40% more repeat purchases.

## Competitive Advantages
- **First independent commerce media network** – operates as a neutral, open platform not owned by a single bank or card network.
