Banking Made by
and for Women.

Sequin is the first debit card designed to reward women’s spend with up to 6% cashback⁺ on beauty products and services, drugstores, gyms, salons, and more  -  without subjecting us to costly high-interest credit card debt.

Debit cards don't usually earn rewards; credit cards do, but don't fully reward women's spending and can subject you to a cycle of high interest credit card debt.

Sequin is a debit card that works everywhere Visa is accepted. In addition to Visa's Zero Liability Policy that you should expect from all high-quality Visa cards, The Sequin Rewards Visa® Debit Card offers the following:

• Fight the Pink Tax: Up to 6% cashback⁺ on the costs of womanhood, including beauty, fitness, personal care, drugstores/pharmacies, your local spa/salon, and more  -  applicable to your entire purchase at merchants in Sequin “Pink Tax categories”, not just on specific products.
• Banking Made for Women: Earn up to 2.80% APY† on your checking account balance, get access to credit tools³ to build credit and pay off debt, and say goodbye to costly overdraft fees with no overdraft capability.
• Education: Sequin courses and workshops³ go in-depth on money, credit, & wealth, and can aid women in building a side hustle or starting our own businesses.

Join our historic mission to recognize women’s financial power and fight the Pink Tax with the Sequin Rewards Visa® Debit Card.

Nope! Your Sequin Rewards Visa® Debit Card & Checking Account do not offer the overdraft feature, as women pay 30% more in overdraft fees compared to men.

As a Sequin community, we questioned why most cards are black and blue - short answer: they represent the patriarchy and who the financial system was designed for (women could be rejected from bank accounts and credit cards without a man co-signing for us only 50 years ago!).

Our Sequin community voted for coral, as an inclusive shade that looks good on every skin tone - representing diversity and inclusivity.

Sequins were a Venetian gold currency until, over time, the reflective metals became decorative accents. The word "Sikka" still means currency in many Arabic languages today. Our team felt the name represented the powerful history of financial tools while paying homage to the women Sequin is serving.

We'll ask for your personalization, or “money mantra” during your Sequin account opening. You can customize that line up to 21 characters, which will show up on the front of the card. We recommend an affirmation, motto, or another phrase that sparks joy.

Yes! All genders welcome.
