About Us

We are reinventing consumer credit - starting with the $1T credit card market. We massively reduce the cost of capital by using technology to easily tap into peopleʼs assets. Our first product is the world's lowest APR credit card – backed by home equity. Using many patented technologies, we sped up a process that usually takes 4-6 weeks and thousands of dollars down to as fast as 15 minutes and $0 to get.

We are missionaries who like to work hard on important problems - and build products that become an infrastructure for society. We believe that using technology to lower the cost of capital for consumers is one of these problems - and if we can do it, it could have an infinite impact on peopleʼs lives.

  • Financial products (Square/CashApp, the earliest CapitalOne credit cards)
