    Retailer-branded credit card & smart card.

    Two cards, one program

    A card for every shopper

    A retailer-branded Visa Signature Credit Card for qualifying shoppers, and a Smart Card no-credit-check alternative for everyone else.

    The shopper experience

    In the wallet, in every checkout

    Shoppers add their branded card to Apple Wallet or Google Pay in seconds — then tap to pay anywhere Visa is accepted. Every swipe at your store earns rewards that redeem right back in-lane, and transactions surface alongside their AppCard activity.

    • One-tap add to Apple Wallet & Google Pay
    • Tap-to-pay anywhere Visa is accepted
    • Rewards earned in-store, redeemed in-store
    • Transactions shown alongside AppCard activity
