Learn more about Vrinda:
Vrinda Gupta worked at Visa for years, launching popular credit cards. But when she applied for a credit card she helped develop, she was rejected. All her years of responsible payments on her debit card didn't show up in her credit history. To big banks, she was invisible.
If you've ever been rejected or hit your credit limit, you know the feeling. That's why Vrinda founded Sequin, to make sure women get the credit they deserve.
“There are too many hidden costs to being a woman, and credit shouldn't be one of them.”
