About Us:

We invented a new type of credit card backed by assets (secured by equity in your home, cars, & other assets), enabling us to offer mind-bendingly low APRs to consumers. Our first product is the world’s lowest APR credit card. Come invent & change the world with us.

Who are we?

We are a well-capitalized (over $140MM in equity funding) team of technology (Microsoft, Facebook), and finance (Square, Discover, CapitalOne, and Goldman) executives with top tier investors -- Founders Fund, Khosla Ventures, Max Levchin, NYCA, Sequoia, etc.

Our Philosophy:

We are a technology company at heart - and we seek to invent & advance the state of the art to build insanely great consumer financial products - starting with the world’s first home-equity-backed credit card. We believe inventing great products happens at the intersection of extremely deep detailed domain knowledge & a very lateral thought process. We don’t like to invent for the sake of it - we do it when we think we can make something significantly better. We value being pragmatic, rational, fast, minimalist, detailed oriented, and obsessively customer-centric.
