Credit orchestration in practice

Credit Isn't One Product Anymore. Watch the on-demand session unpacking Marqeta's 2026 State of Credit report — built on a survey of 5,000 consumers and small businesses across the US and UK — and what providers should build in response.

What you'll learn


  • Why the "linear credit journey" is the wrong way to think about your customers
  • What flexible credentials are, and the demand signals already in the data
  • Why the customers who want them are also the most open to non-banks
  • A 2026 roadmap framework: what to build, pilot, or defer

How fintechs, brands, SMB platforms, and banks should each respond.

The 2026 build / pilot / defer framework.

A real SMB credit journey — and why the first card rarely wins the consolidation.
