About Us


Rightfoot's vision is to connect the world’s financial data in one click.

We believe that consumers and small businesses should have the right to permission their financial data in just one click to access fair financial services. And that they should not be required to share their sensitive bank usernames and passwords in order to do so.

Rightfoot is building the first customer-permissioned financial data platform that does not require end customers to share their bank usernames and passwords.  The power of our product is that it both decreases friction in the user experience and increases financial access. Today, lenders leverage Rightfoot to slash failed payments and subsequent bank fees to their end customers, seamlessly monitor customer accounts, increase collections, and more. 


Rightfoot raised a $15M Series A to build the new standard for frictionless consumer-permissioned data, and is backed by top fintech VCs like Bain Capital Ventures and BoxGroup, as well as executives and founders of companies like Venmo, Block, Marqeta, Eventbrite, and more. Rightfoot was named a CB Insights’ Fintech 100, Will Reed Top 100, and Forbes’ Cloud 100 Rising Star.

  • Familiarity with the consumer permissioned data industry.

  • Experience selling and leading integrations of complex, technical products.
