What we hold ourselves to
Real-time transaction ledgers and plain-language statements — you see exactly what happened to your funds and when, not a summarized version of it.
Every transaction our fraud system flags gets reviewed by a person before it clears — not an automated hold that leaves you guessing.
We're privately held and don't answer to outside shareholders pushing for quarterly growth — decisions get made for the customer holding the account.
Our Small Business Grant program puts real capital behind new businesses in New York and Chicago, no repayment required.
Behind the counter
We hold deposits, extend credit, and move money for customers who expect to see exactly what happened to their funds and when. Policy decisions happen in a room with the people who'll have to explain them to a customer the next day — not in a spreadsheet three departments removed.
That's also why our FAQ and Terms of Service are written in plain English instead of legal boilerplate.
Two cities, one ledger
We haven't chased branches in every state. Staying concentrated in New York and Chicago means a regulator, a reporter, or a customer can reach an actual decision-maker without being routed through a call center in a city we've never opened a branch in.
When we do grow, it will be by going deeper in these two markets, not wider across all fifty.
Founded by a small group of former co-op bankers with one promise: every entry, safe and in trust.
Grew beyond a single branch to serve customers across two major US markets.
Every flagged transaction now gets a human review before it clears, not after.
Full account access, transfers, and card controls from a phone — no branch visit required.
Open an account in minutes, or talk to someone first — either way, no call center routing.
