Marqeta will help power Uber Eats in major
markets around the world, showcasing the global reach of Marqeta’s
platform and ongoing partnership with Uber
Marqeta (NASDAQ: MQ), the global modern card issuing platform
that enables embedded finance solutions for the world’s innovators,
today announced the expansion of its US partnership with Uber Eats
into eight additional markets: Canada, Australia, Mexico, Brazil,
Colombia, Peru, Chile and Costa Rica. Marqeta’s global platform
allows customers to launch card products in more than 40 markets
through a single integration. This scale helps partners such as
Uber Eats reduce effort and time-to-market for subsequent
launches.
“As Uber continues to grow our platform and expand services in
new and existing markets, a sophisticated partner is critical,”
said Karl Hébert, Vice President of Payments, Risk, and Identity at
Uber. “We’re pleased to continue our work with Marqeta, leveraging
their global scale, to allow us to easily launch card programs in
new markets and to continue to provide our couriers with the latest
digital payments tools to help them earn more.”
Since Marqeta began partnering with Uber in 2020, the Marqeta
team has supported Uber’s growth across several new projects in the
US, including the Uber Pro Card via Marqeta’s partnership with
Branch. Through this partnership and multi-market expansion, the
Marqeta team can help Uber bring on more merchants and engage more
users.
“When thinking of a magical payment experience, Uber is one of
the first examples that come to mind. We’re proud to celebrate over
three years of working together in the US, and are excited to help
grow their Eats business in these additional markets,” said Simon
Khalaf, CEO, Marqeta. “We look forward to continuing our
partnership and launching more innovative products and services to
help Uber achieve its goals of getting people what they need more
easily and helping couriers earn more.”
