Our Story
Grit was founded on a simple concept: we are using technology to transform the banking industry to better serve working Americans.
Our team is passionate about serving people across the board. We offer what many of the wealthy have received for decades: financial privileges such as cashback rewards, high interest rates and access to cash early, so you can start earning, saving and paying off debt early.
While we are a relatively new company, we work with brands you know and trust including VISA, NCR, Corecard (powers the Apple Card), and Community Federal Savings Bank. You can rest assured your money is safe with us as all accounts are FDIC Insured up to $250,000 and Grit is subject to all U.S. banking laws.
Our founder’s experience includes:
- Building the first Credit card backed by home equity
- Building the Starbucks app
Our investors have deep expertise in banking including senior level positions at VISA, Citibank and JP Morgan Chase.
