We have helped 2+ million users connect 30+ million liability accounts, save them millions in interest and fees, get them access to billions of dollars in personalized loans, and earn millions of points on their purchases.

As a small but fast-growing team, we value teammates who are passionate about building, scaling, all while having fun together! While we have our own roles to fill, we often find ourselves wearing multiple hats. No day is the same when you’re building from scratch. Our founding team is based across Austin and Washington D.C., with an office in New York.
