Manifest, the embedded banking platform purpose-built for creators and the ecosystem powering them, announced the launch of the Manifest Business Debit Mastercard, a new card powered by Mastercard to help creator entrepreneurs manage their money, unlock savings, and grow with confidence.

As the creator economy evolves, millions of creators are operating as full-scale businesses, managing multiple revenue streams, selling products and services, and engaging global audiences. Goldman Sachs estimates the creator economy could approach $480 billion by 2027, while Adobe research found more than 300 million creators globally. According to the IAB, roughly one in 10 internet-dependent jobs is now a creator role. Yet many lack financial tools built for how they actually work.

The Manifest Business Debit Mastercard, offered through Manifest's platform, is designed to address this gap by aligning payments, banking and financial management into an integrated experience purpose-built for modern, creator-led businesses.

The Manifest Business Debit Mastercard offers a powerful set of Mastercard benefits designed to support day-to-day operations and long-term growth:

  • Mastercard Easy Savings – Access to a global business loyalty program, providing automated, curated merchant card-linked offers, helping creators stretch every dollar further.
  • Mastercard Business Builder – Unlock access to a suite of benefits that help entrepreneurs launch and scale their businesses, with intentional tools and educational resources to help creators grow with confidence and efficiency.
  • Advanced Security Protections – Benefit from Mastercard's AI-powered fraud monitoring, Mastercard ID Theft Protection™ and Mastercard Zero Liability Protection, ensuring every transaction is secure and protected.
  • Mastercard Priceless Experiences – Access unique dining, travel, and entertainment events on the Mastercard Priceless platform.

Powered by Mastercard's global network, the platform also enables faster payouts, including instant options, embedded payment acceptance, seamless cross-border transactions, and integrated tools to manage invoicing, expenses, taxes and multiple income streams.

"Creators are building some of today's most dynamic small businesses," said Ginger Siegel, North America Small and Medium Business Lead at Mastercard. "They're managing customers, cash flow, taxes, global audiences and multiple income streams often without tools designed for how they work. Together with Manifest, we're helping creators access the trusted payments, security and infrastructure they need to grow sustainable businesses in the digital economy."

Manifest's platform is designed to simplify financial operations for creators and the entire creator economy by bringing key activities into one place. Through the platform, creators can access:

  • Business accounts and cards tailored to creator-led businesses
  • Faster, more flexible payouts, including instant options
  • Secure payment acceptance embedded into creator platforms
  • Seamless cross-border money movement to support global audiences
  • Tools to manage invoicing, expenses, taxes and cash flow across multiple income stream

By embedding financial services directly into the creator workflow, Manifest's platform can enable creators to operate more like fully integrated businesses, supporting everything from monetization and brand partnerships to financial planning and global expansion.
