We often found ourselves frustrated by the numerous credit card options available, many of which came with high fees and benefits that we did not use. This left us feeling like we were overpaying for credit cards that didn’t suit our needs. Navigating the various features of different cards in the market was also a challenging experience.
How Lithium was born
At Lithium, we believe that personalized credit cards should be easily and responsibly available to everyone. Whether you’re new to credit in the US or an experienced credit card user, we aim to provide a credit card that is uniquely tailored to you.
