Rewards & Loyalty

Build loyalty programs customers actually use

Power spend-based rewards with flexible earn structures, dynamic redemption options, and real-time point tracking that drives top-of-wallet behavior.

Drive loyalty with immediate value

Generic rewards programs fail to change behavior. Lithic’s real-time earn and redemption infrastructure lets you deliver instant gratification—points post immediately, cashback appears in real-time, and rewards are always available to spend.

Design differentiated programs

Not all cards are created equal. Lithic's flexible infrastructure lets you build distinctive loyalty experiences—from custom card designs to unique earn mechanics—that make your card program memorable and keep it top-of-wallet.

Optimize for scale and performance

Reward your cardholders and your bottom line. Lithic's precise transaction data and robust ledgering let you configure earn rates by merchant category, spending tier, or customer segment—maximizing engagement while controlling program costs.

Flexible Rewards Configuration

Our extensible ledger tracks balances with to-the-penny accuracy and reconciles spend in real-time, giving you the foundation to build diverse rewards programs: flat cashback rates, tiered point multipliers, category bonuses, or merchant-specific rewards.
