Banking is being reimagined—and customers expect every interaction to be easy, personal, and instant.
We are building a universal banking assistant that millions of U.S. consumers can use to transact across all financial institutions and, over time, autonomously drive their financial goals. Powered by our proprietary BankGPT platform, this assistant is positioned to displace age-old legacy systems within financial institutions and own the end-to-end CX stack, unlocking a $200B opportunity and potentially replacing multiple publicly traded companies.
Ultimately, our mission is to drive financial well-being for millions of consumers.
With over two-thirds of Americans living paycheck to paycheck, 50% holding less than $500 in savings, and only 17% financially literate, we aim to put financial well-being on autopilot to help solve this problem.
We are building an AI-native platform where agentic systems, real-time services, and distributed infrastructure converge to power intelligent financial products.
