Profile

Cardlytics, Inc.CDLXCommunication Services

The platform helps marketers deliver card-linked offers through participating financial institutions’ digital-banking channels and measure incremental sales. Its multi-sided model connects FI partners’ anonymized purchase data and customer access with advertiser campaigns.

A financial media network uses anonymized purchase data from participating financial institutions to place card-linked offers in online and mobile banking channels. Financial-institution partners provide digital-banking access and customer data, while marketers use the network’s audience and measurement capabilities to engage potential buyers and measure incremental sales. Named partners include Chase, Wells Fargo, and American Express.

The Cardlytics platform is the current core business. In March 2026, the company sold its Bridg assets and said it would concentrate resources on scaling that platform. Its operating model depends on continued access to a limited number of financial-institution partner channels and their data.
