Ce que fait Cheddar

Ditch your bare-bones, high-fee checking account. You deserve free and powerful everyday banking. Nearly 3 out of 4 millennials would rather go to the dentist than listen to their bank. While it's possible that we just really love our oral hygiene, it's more likely that we don't trust or like our banks. It's not hard to understand why. Big banks use big budgets and armies of salespeople and marketers to sell old-school products layered with fees and penalties. Their profits increase when we spend more, overuse debt, and make mistakes like overdrafting. Big banks get away with this because banking is such a vital service. Everyday spending and saving decisions that begin at the checking account ultimately determine whether we'll lead a healthy and secure financial life. What can be done? Bill Gates believes banks aren't necessary for banking. Millennials believe technology companies can make banking better. So let's build a better bank. Cheddar is a new mobile bank account, debit card, and business model to free the world from underpowered checking accounts and evil banks.

The Best Mobile Checking Account

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

We are building a mobile bank account with a debit card designed for millennials who hate traditional banks. Our product offers a free alternative to checking accounts loaded with fees and penalties. It helps people take control of their everyday spending and saving without the usual traps big banks set.

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

We do not have a fixed location now, and plan to base the company wherever makes the most sense after YC.

Explain your decision regarding location.

We want to stay flexible given the small size of our founding team and the early stage of the product, focusing on testing and customer acquisition wherever possible.
