Banking 100% in Spanish for US Spanish speakers

What is your company going to make? Please describe your product and what it does or will do.

We built a bank account experience completely in Spanish for the 44 million US Spanish speakers who face frustrating language barriers with existing banks. Right now, it's the easiest way for our customers to open and use a bank account entirely in their native language. Next, we'll expand into credit cards, auto loans, and mortgages all fully in Spanish with original underwriting.

Where do you live now, and where would the company be based after YC?

We live in San Francisco, and after YC we will continue to operate from here.

Explain your decision regarding location.

San Francisco is where the financial and tech talent pool we need is. It helps us recruit engineers and operate in a major financial hub.
