Cosa fa Bree

Bree is building a challenger bank for the 11 million Canadians living paycheck to paycheck, starting with interest-free cash advances. We make money through tips and an optional, same-day express fee. By solving our customers' most urgent problem - illiquidity between paychecks - our cash advance business is a cheap, but profitable and repeatable hook that builds distribution for a broader challenger bank. This represents a $9 billion revenue opportunity in Canada.

Chime for Canada, starting with cash advances

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

We are building a challenger bank for Canadians who live paycheck to paycheck. Our initial product offers interest-free cash advances to solve illiquidity between paychecks. This gives users fast access to funds without fees, and we monetize through optional tips and a same-day express fee. Over time, we will expand into a broader challenger bank offering.

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

We live and are based in Vancouver, BC, Canada, and plan to remain based here after YC.

Explain your decision regarding location.

We are based in Vancouver because that's where we live and know the Canadian market well. Being local helps us understand our customers' financial struggles and regulatory environment.
