Westlake Financial and Stride Bank to Offer Westlake Black Visa Credit Card with Rewards to Customers

LOS ANGELES--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Westlake Financial has partnered with Stride Bank to launch the new Westlake Black Visa Credit Card. The card offers credit limits up to $10,000 and cash back rewards on everyday purchases with a competitive purchase APR.

“We want to provide customers with a card that offers spending flexibility and that gives them an additional way to build credit outside of the auto loan that they have with us. This product aligns with our long-term diversification strategy beyond auto,” said Ian Anderson, Group President of Westlake Technology Holdings. “We partnered with Stride Bank because they have an established track record of providing innovative and sound credit products.”

The Westlake Black Visa Credit Card provides Westlake’s auto loan customers with rewards on all purchases with extra rewards on their automotive-category related purchases. Westlake Black Visa Credit Card will offer 0.5% cash back on all non-auto category purchases. On automotive-category purchases, cardholders can earn even more rewards with a generous 2% cash back on gas, EV charging, oil changes, car maintenance, roadside assistance, towing, car parts, car washes, car insurance, and even new tire purchases.

Customers can accept their firm offer of credit and manage their Westlake auto loan and credit card accounts all in one place, in the Westlake MyAccount app and at myaccount.westlakefinancial.com.

"Stride Bank is thrilled to partner with Westlake Financial in introducing the Westlake Black Visa Credit Card. This collaboration aligns perfectly with our commitment to innovation and to providing our customers with financial products that are tailored to meet their real needs.” said Adam Baker, President, Banking Group at Stride Bank, N.A.
