Continental Finance has acquired the Today Card Portfolio, a card portfolio previously held by Elevate Credit & Capital Community Bank. The acquisition marks a significant milestone in Continental Finance’s strategic expansion efforts. Continental specialises in the marketing and servicing of bank-issued credit cards for people with less than perfect credit scores. It says that the acquisition aligns with its vision to empower individuals with innovative financial solutions.

Continental Finance offers several unsecured credit cards that cater to people with limited or bad credit. Typically, this means consumers with FICO scores of 300 to 669. The cards offer higher approval rates than many might expect but typically charge high fees.
