🔮 Method Financial was founded in 2021 after our founders experienced first-hand the difficulties of embedding debt repayment into their app ( GradJoy ). They decided to build their embedded banking service that allows developers to easily retrieve and pay any of their users' debts - including credit cards, student loans, car loans, and mortgages - all through a single API.
As a BuiltIn recognized-growing team, we're focused on providing the opportunity for ambitious and entrepreneurial individuals to have high levels of impact at the forefront of the fintech space. Continuous improvement, collaboration, and a clear mission bring us together in service of delivering the best products for our users. We are a remote-first team, striving to set up the best environment for everyone to be successful.
We raised a $2.5 million round backed by Y Combinator, top investors including Ardent, Live Oak VP, and Leonis Capital. We're also backed by founders and leaders of Truebill, Upstart, and Goldman Sachs.
