Our values

These four pillars help us champion you, the customer, in everything we do. Ensuring we provide the best experience possible to everyone who uses Card One Money.

Make it
happen

We will own the outcome and execute flawlessly against our plans. We need to deliver our part, and influence others to deliver theirs.

Succeed
together

We must pull in the same direction, and think end-to-end beyond silos. We should assume positive intent and bring out the best in each other.

Be the
customer

We should always be asking ourselves if what we’re doing is making our customers’ lives easier and helping them get more for their money.

Go
beyond

We need to care for ourselves and each other, and push ourselves to excel. Every day is a new chance to grow and develop ourselves as well as those around us.
