Walmart has announced a new partnership with Mastercard to provide credit cards to customers in the US.
The credit cards will be powered by Mastercard and are set to launch this autumn.
OnePay, a consumer FinTech company backed by Walmart, and financial services firm Syncrony will work with Walmart on the programme.
The companies will launch both a general-purpose card which can be used anywhere Mastercard is accepted and a private label card which can only be used for purchases made at Walmart.
The credit card functionality will be embedded inside the OnePay app, which the company said will offer Walmart customers an intuitive digital experience and access to its suite of financial services products.
These include cashback debit, high-yield savings, instalment loans, a digital wallet, and domestic and international peer-to-peer payments.
Following the initial launch Walmart said the scheme will increase loyalty and sales, benefiting the company’s long-term financial performance.
I Almost Canceled My Amex Gold but Got 15,000 Points Instead — Here’s How
May 26, 2025 in Credit CardsI’ve had the American Express® Gold Card in my wallet for a while, mainly because it’s my go-to for earning 4x points at restaurants worldwide (up to $50,000 annually, then 1x) and U.S. supermarkets (up to $25,000 annually, then 1x).
That alone has made it worth keeping for years. But in July 2024, when Amex increased the annual fee to $325 (rates & fees), I began questioning whether keeping the card made sense.
I already carry other rewards credit cards without such a high annual fee, though the earning rates aren’t as high in the dining and U.S. supermarket categories. I seriously considered canceling my Amex Gold card before my anniversary date last month.
But before doing anything drastic, I contacted Amex to see if they’d be willing to offer me a retention bonus to stick around. Here’s how it went.
