Products
Mint has offered insurance for cars and homes, unsecured loans and credit cards to UK customers.
The Mint MC2 Card
In 2003 Mint introduced the Mint credit card, which by 2004 had taken a 3% share of the UK credit card market. The card was offered as two versions, a standard credit card and the MC2 card which has the bottom right-hand corner removed.
The card cannot be read by a minority of older machines, but does work in all ATMs. This was the first change to the shape of credit cards in the UK for 37 years.
Other Products
Additionally, under the MINT + brand, Mint offered travel services and a wine club.
MINT Gift Card
In September 2006 MINT launched a pre-paid debit card. Costing an initial fee the card could be prepaid for any amount between £10 to £250. Used in a similar way as the gift vouchers offered by a number of retailers, it was not, however, tied to any one store.
