RMO offers personal credit cards through RMO Financial, its lending division, at member rates as part of an RMO membership. One membership bundles credit with RMO’s other divisions, including banking, protection, insurance, roadside and payments. Discover is a U.S. card issuer known for cashback credit cards, no annual fee on its core cards, and operating its own card network. The core difference is model: a member-based card program inside a wider financial ecosystem versus a standalone cashback card portfolio.
Discover is known for cashback credit cards and operates its own card network. RMO’s approach centers on member-rate pricing and bundling credit with the rest of an RMO membership rather than a standalone cashback portfolio. If dedicated cashback cards are your priority, Discover is built around that; if you prefer one membership spanning banking, protection and credit, RMO’s model may fit better.

No. Credit cards are lending products, not deposit products, so they are not FDIC-insured at RMO or at Discover. RMO credit products are subject to credit approval and applicable terms. FDIC insurance applies to deposit accounts such as checking and savings, not to credit cards.
