The X1 Credit Card: A Unique Option for Younger Consumers

The X1 credit card harnesses the power of technology to offer higher credit limits, an aggressive rewards program, and unique automated features driven by a mobile app. Created by Twitter alums Deepak Rao and Siddharth Batra, and supported by PayPal co-founder Max Levchin and Instagram’s former head of product, Kevin Weil, the X1 card targets younger consumers who want a tech-savvy, elegantly designed stainless steel card. At introduction, there was a 350,000 person waitlist for the card. I’m excited to have Siddharth Batra, co-founder of X1 Card on the Banking Transformed podcast. He discusses the strategy behind introducing a new credit card to an underserved segment and the potential for growth beyond payments. This episode of Banking Transformed is sponsored by FIS.
