Thoughts on why this happened? I wish they were more forthcoming about the causes. This is the corporate equivalent of ghosting on your tinder date.
I think it's more like breaking up with someone, but not offering to explain why.

#42I interviewed with them very very recently. I guess not getting the job was a good thing!

> ghosting on your tinder date What does this mean? Apologies if it's something obvious I should know; I'm not cool anymore so this terminology escapes me. :)
"ghosting" just means ending all interaction without warning. not necessarily in the context of a relationship. one can ghost a job, a friend, or even someone selling things on craigslist. "He ghosted me after finding out I have kids."
Ghosting can also be situational.
For instance, you can ghost from a bar or party, which is essentially just disappearing without saying goodbye and trying to avoid anyone noticing you leaving. Also called an Irish Goodbye.

Yeah I also met with them but they were waiting to hear back about headcount. It’s too bad, there product was useful.

Final probably wasn't pushing much volume as a Visa Signature card issuer, with a cut of around ~1% of all transactions on average[1], it would take around 100mil in processed transactions to net 1 million in revenue for Final. Visa may have also kicked them off due to having such low volume.

Re: A Final Farewell
#46This really, really sucks. I have a business credit card that I have to update 20+ sites for every time there's a compromised card issue, and I'd really love to be able to use one card # for each business I work with. They were going to launch a business card in the future but apparently that is now scrapped.
Are there any alternatives out there for doing this?

I've had a good experience with privacy.com, although I'm not super excited that you have to give them your bank logins.
Re: A Final Farewell
#48I would have used Final if it were a debit card. Didn't want another credit card and was bummed to see that's what it was.

That's more for acquihires.
discreditable's comment says that they were in fact acquired, although with a username like that who knows ;)
our journey...a true masterpiece, that blog post - the poetic equivalent of realizing there's a shit-stained toilet paper scrap stuck between your ass cheeks, but only after you've stood and washed your hands. A thing was done, but poorly.
Re: A Final Farewell
#50I emailed their support and they said they've been acquired by another company but can't disclose the details.
my theory is that their main asset wasn't their consumers, or even that data, but their ability to be a card processor and issuer (like the big banks). I don't think there's very many of them, and the effort required to build that is very time consuming and expensive.
wondering if the buyer will unwrap a turd and void their check
