Free US bank accounts and financial services for immigrants

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

We build a platform that sets up new immigrants in the US with a free FDIC-insured checking account, a no-interest free credit card, and a free AT&T SIM card with discounted plans. We help Indian expats build credit, communicate affordably, and send remittances at better rates - all in one account.

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

Prateek and Tyler live partly in New York, NY and partly in New Delhi, India. After YC, the company will remain based in these two locations.

Explain your decision regarding location.

We serve Indian immigrants moving to the US, so being physically close in both New York and New Delhi helps us understand and access our customers on both sides of migration.
