Safety of your money
Mission Lane is registered in the US with 1857501, and its cards run on Visa U.S.A. Inc. The perks list adds the Visa Zero Liability Policy, so you are not held liable for unauthorised transactions on the card. That protection comes from Visa and Mission Lane, not from a deposit protection scheme, and no cashback balance is protected by the registration. Because this is a credit card, balances are owed rather than held.
Who runs it
The card is issued by Mission Lane LLC, based in the United States. Its only listed support route is help centre, so most questions are answered through written help material rather than a live conversation. Help is also available inside the Mission Lane mobile app, which covers payments, reminders and the free online TransUnion credit score. Cardholders can pay with Apple Pay, Google Pay and Samsung Pay.

Frequently asked questions
Does Mission Lane charge an annual fee?+
No. The annual fee is $0, which matches the site median of €0. That puts Mission Lane at the cheapest end of the 670 cards we compare on this page, where the highest annual fee is €167.70. Holding either card costs nothing in fees.
What cashback do I get on the Mission Lane cards?+
The Gold Line Visa pays bonus cashback on gas, travel and dining and a smaller rate on all other purchases, while the Silver Line Visa pays one flat rate on every purchase. Either way the rewards are cashback, not points or miles. Cashback is the most common reward type on the site, at 49.5%.
Do I need good credit to get a Mission Lane card?+
Good credit is the requirement here, written as good. Among credit cards on the site, 45.7% of the brands sit at that level, so a fair or poor credit file narrows the options. A secured card is available, which suits anyone working towards a stronger history.
Is Mission Lane regulated and is the card safe to use?+
Mission Lane holds a US registration under 1857501, and the cards run on the Visa network. The perks include the Visa Zero Liability Policy, which limits your liability for unauthorised transactions. No deposit protection scheme applies, since a credit card lends to you rather than holding your money.
Who is behind Mission Lane?+
The issuer is Mission Lane LLC, a company based in the United States. It is a US provider, so the card suits US residents rather than readers shopping in the UK or Europe. Company details and terms are published by the issuer itself.
What support can I get from Mission Lane?+
The only listed support channel is help centre, so help is written rather than a live phone line or chat thread. Questions can be raised through the app and answered from the help centre. The mobile app also carries automatic payment reminders and a free online TransUnion credit score.
What other features come with a Mission Lane card?+
Beyond the cashback, the perks include automatic payment reminders to help you avoid missing a due date, a free online TransUnion credit score and digital wallet payments. You can add the card to Apple Pay, Google Pay or Samsung Pay. Cashback can be earned on whichever card tier you hold.
Should I pick the Gold Line or Silver Line Visa?+
Both charge the same annual fee of $0, so the choice is about the reward shape. Gold Line pays more on gas, travel and dining and less elsewhere, which suits heavy spending in those categories. Silver Line pays one flat rate on everything, which suits even spending across the board.
