The Problem

Building financial features requires banking partnerships, compliance expertise, and 12–18 months of development. SaaS companies leave $10K–$100K in revenue per customer by not offering embedded financial services. Existing BaaS providers have complex APIs and poor documentation.

The Solution

Developer-friendly embedded finance API that packages banking (accounts, cards), payments (ACH, wires), and lending (credit lines, advances) into simple REST endpoints — letting any SaaS platform launch financial products in weeks.

Target Audience

SaaS platforms wanting to embed financial services, marketplaces needing payment splitting and fund holding, and vertical software companies adding banking to increase revenue per user
