The History of Tarjeta Naranja
Tarjeta Naranja was founded in 1985 in Córdoba, Argentina. Founders David Ruda and Gerardo Asrín first introduced the credit card to their customers in their former sports business. Since the shopping bags were orange, the customers nicknamed the card ¨Naranja - orange in English. Soon, the credit card began to expand locally and later in the entire country as a payment solution for merchants. In 1995, it partnered with Banco Galicia to grow even more and offer new services and benefits to cardholders and merchants.
Later on, Tarjeta Naranja also joined Visa, providing cardholders with numerous solutions to their credit card issues. Mastercard and American Express joined after, deepening the growing process worldwide. In 2017, the company's identity was renewed by dropping the word "Tarjeta" and simply called "Naranja". By that time, the company was more than a credit card issuer. By 2018, Naranja unified with Tarjeta Nevada, a credit card from the cities of Mendoza and San Juan, thus becoming the major credit card fintech of Argentina.
The company also operates Tienda Naranja, an online marketplace where customers can sell a variety of merchandise. As of today, Naranja has over 260,000 “Comercios Amigos”, 3,400 associates and employees, and 238 branches. It also has more than 5 million clients, more than 7.8 million cards issued around the country, and billed $5.7 billion per year.
