The Cardstream Ethos

We build one common platform to benefit all Partners and merchants.
We work only with Partners and do not compete for the same merchants.
We build an ethical business and drive sustainable growth.
We create our own path and launch rapidly.
We are not faceless: we welcome phone calls and personal meetings.
We are Partner focused and work as a team, both internally and with our Partners.

These staple principles ensure that we will never conflict with our partners, giving them complete freedom to target verticals in which they wish to succeed.
