Current Organic Growth Opportunities

Create a massive directory of merchant-specific pages answering payment acceptance and troubleshooting questions for mobile wallets and virtual cards. This targets users at the point of purchase who are experiencing friction with Apple Pay, Google Pay, or contactless payments.

Example Keywords

• "does [Merchant] take apple pay"
• "apple pay not working at [Merchant]"
• "does [Merchant] accept google pay"
• "can you use tap to pay at [Merchant]"
• "[Merchant] payment not working with virtual card"

Rationale

Users frequently search for payment compatibility before or during checkout. With an Authority Score of 50 and 22,831 referring domains, Current has the domain strength to rank for thousands of merchant-specific queries that competitors like Chime currently dominate, capturing users at the exact moment they need a reliable banking solution.

Topical Authority

Current's existing support infrastructure for mobile wallets and virtual cards, evidenced by its high-performing support pages, provides a strong foundation for merchant-level troubleshooting expertise.

Internal Data Sources

Use merchant lists, anonymized transaction success rates by category, and support KB articles on wallet provisioning and virtual card behavior.

Estimated Number of Pages

120,000+ (Covering tens of thousands of retailers across multiple payment methods and failure scenarios)

A comprehensive guide to canceling subscriptions and managing recurring charges for thousands of digital services. This addresses the high-intent need for financial control and "stopping the bleed" of unwanted charges, mapping directly to Current's card control features.

Example Keywords

• "cancel [Service] subscription"
• "stop [Service] charges on bank statement"
• "how to get a refund from [Service]"
• "[Service] free trial cancel"
• "why am I being charged by [Service]"

Rationale

Subscription management is a core pain point for fintech users. By providing clear cancellation paths, Current can attract users looking for better spend visibility, especially as the domain currently over-indexes on brand-heavy traffic (55% on the homepage) and needs new non-brand acquisition surfaces.

Topical Authority

Current's focus on "Mobile banking done better" and existing support content for preventing merchant charges makes it a natural authority on managing merchant relationships and billing disputes.

Internal Data Sources

Use statement descriptor mappings, service-specific cancellation policies, and internal dispute resolution data to offer differentiated, actionable advice.

Estimated Number of Pages

60,000+ (Covering a vast universe of SaaS, streaming, and subscription-based apps)

Programmatic guides for navigating rent and tuition payment portals, focusing on avoiding convenience fees and resolving ACH/debit failures. This targets high-value, recurring payment behaviors that define a primary bank account user.

Example Keywords

• "pay rent on [Portal] with debit card"
• "[Portal] payment failed"
• "convenience fee for [Portal] debit vs ACH"
• "how to add bank account to [Portal] for tuition"
• "[Portal] micro-deposit verification time"

Rationale

Rent and tuition are often a user's largest monthly expenses. Helping users navigate complex portals like AppFolio or Nelnet builds deep trust and encourages users to move their primary balance to Current to ensure these payments succeed.

Topical Authority

Current's existing success with "how-to" banking operations content in its support section makes it a highly credible source for payment portal troubleshooting and setup.

Internal Data Sources

Use portal-specific payment rules, support KB insights on common ACH/debit failures, and institution lists (universities and property managers).

Estimated Number of Pages

25,000+ (Covering major portals across thousands of specific institutions and property management groups)

An atlas of payout timings, methods, and troubleshooting for gig economy and creator platforms. This targets the "get paid faster" intent that is central to Current's value proposition for the modern workforce.

Example Keywords

• "[Platform] instant pay"
• "how long does [Platform] payout take"
• "[Platform] payout schedule 2025"
• "change payout method on [Platform]"
• "[Platform] payout not received"

Rationale

Chime generates 18.4x more organic traffic than Current; this play targets the gig-economy niche where Current's "early access" and "paycheck advance" features provide a competitive edge to bridge that traffic gap.

Topical Authority

Current's established presence in the "paycheck advance" and "early direct deposit" space, with existing blog content on seasonal work and holiday pay, provides significant topical relevance.

Internal Data Sources

Use gig platform lists, anonymized payout timing telemetry, and support articles on inbound deposit troubleshooting.

Estimated Number of Pages

10,000+ (Covering rideshare, delivery, marketplace, and creator platforms)

A technical encyclopedia explaining Merchant Category Codes (MCC) and the specific transaction behaviors, such as authorization holds and tip adjustments, associated with them. This reduces user anxiety around "mysterious" pending charges.

Example Keywords

• "mcc [Code] meaning"
• "merchant category code [Code]"
• "why is there a pending hold from [Merchant]"
• "gas station authorization hold amount"
• "tip adjustment pending charge how long"

Rationale

Transaction confusion is a leading cause of support tickets. Educating users on the "plumbing" of banking captures high-intent search traffic from users who are currently underserved by generic banking definitions.

Topical Authority

As a fintech platform with a strong focus on transparency and mobile-first banking, Current is uniquely positioned to explain technical transaction processing to a lay audience.

Internal Data Sources

Use MCC definitions, transaction telemetry on hold durations, and internal knowledge bases on merchant settlement patterns.

Estimated Number of Pages

8,000+ (Covering hundreds of common MCCs and thousands of merchant-specific hold scenarios)

Improvements Summary

Create a single primary “Contact Current Support” hub on current.com to own high-intent navigational queries, then demote competing pages that currently rank for phone/contact terms. Update the Zendesk contact article to support the hub, add snippet-ready sections and FAQs, and clean up indexation by noindexing Zendesk search result pages.

Improvements Details

Publish/optimize https://current.com/contact/ with scannable modules (phone number, customer service hours, live-person steps, lost/stolen, disputes) and an FAQ block targeting terms like “current customer service phone number”, “current customer service phone number 24/7”, and “current customer service hours”. Rework https://support.current.com/hc/en-us/articles/4408091573531-How-do-I-contact-Current with a stronger opening, table of contents, and links to /contact/, while stripping contact-intent signals from https://current.com/current_points_terms_and_conditions/ and linking out to the hub. Add Organization/ContactPoint + FAQPage schema, add persistent internal links (header/footer + high-authority product pages + Zendesk articles), and create a dedicated “How to log in to Current” article while setting Zendesk search URLs to noindex.

Improvements Rationale

Search demand for “Current” contact and phone-number queries is high, but Current’s traffic share is near zero, indicating the site is not winning the top result or rich snippets for brand-owned intents. A legal terms page ranking for “customer service phone number” variants signals keyword misalignment and cannibalization, which can suppress the correct page. Consolidating relevance into one authoritative hub, then reinforcing it with internal links and schema, increases the chance of page-1 rankings and FAQ/sitelink-style SERP features within weeks.
