Current

We're honored to be recognized and included on CNBC's World's Top 250 Fintech Companies for the second straight year. It's been quite a year at Current. We have always been focused on providing our members access to their money when they need it and we are proud to have integrated a first-of-its-kind secured charge card into a core aspect of the Current spending experience, which allows our members to build their credit histories with a single balance to view across credit and debit on Current's platform and our Paycheck Advance product, which provides members needed access to a portion of their paychecks in advance of their direct deposits without any mandatory fees. From building credit to access to liquidity and much more, all the products and services we continue to build and provide are all to serve our mission to enable better financial outcomes for our members. #fintech #tech #worldstopfintechs

In the latest episode of the Fintech Business Weekly podcast, our CEO and co-founder Stuart Sopp spoke with Jason Mikula on the state of fintech, from balancing growth with sound unit economics, to Current's new Paycheck Advance product and credit building, the importance of prioritizing compliance and security, including navigating state-by-state licensing and more. Give it a listen for the full convo! #fintech #tech #banking

From the early days of a vision of solving the problems of open and accessible finance, to now providing the solutions of quality access to building credit, liquidity and banking services, our CTO and co-founder Trevor Marshall discusses our journey and the critical part our partnership with Visa plays in our ability to do it differently, smarter and safer in this edition of the 'Ask a Fintech Founder' series. #fintech #tech #innovation

We have always believed owning our own core banking technology was critical to building differentiated products and putting us in firm control of our innovation and member experience. As we have continued to build its capabilities over the last nine years, few stand out more than our move to Visa DPS Forward in October 2022, to do our own processing directly with the card network moving forward, and which we did via a nearly seamless live BIN migration of millions of accounts. It was the result of over 16 months of meticulous planning and we were one of the first clients to go live with a full suite of solutions running at scale with Visa DPS Forward. How did this integration and partnership come about? Why were API capabilities so important in selecting Visa DPS Forward as a solution? Read more in a case study from Datos Insights, detailing our 'leap forward' with Visa DPS Forward, why owning our own core platform has been so important in its success, and the opportunities we see ahead to scale our partnership. #fintech #tech #corebanking #innovation

If you're wondering just the 'halvening' of Bitcoin is, and what it means (in ways you can understand!), our CTO and co-founder Trevor Marshall explains it all on the latest Okay, Computer podcast from RiskReversal Media. He also breaks down the latest vibes in GenAI with Dan Nathan, including why he believe it will be on the software level that consumers will start to feel the interactions, in potentially an 'eery' way. Give it a listen! #fintech #tech #GenAI #bitcoin
