We have partnered with 60+ financial institutions - including Bilt Rewards, SoFi, PenFed, Figure, Happy Money and Aven - to deliver frictionless, personalized and engaging user experiences.

We are backed by investors and advisors from Andreessen Horowitz, Y Combinator, SV Angel, Ardent Ventures, Abstract Ventures, Truist Ventures, Truebill, Upstart, and more.
