Rize's mission is to make financial services simple and accessible.
72% employee growth in 12 months
The development of digital financial services has become more accessible in recent years due to an increase in the range of public development tools. However, application development is mostly limited to a single account type (such as checking account or IRA) due to the fragmented nature of development tools.
Rize develops a fintech API package that provides the means for financial service developers to create apps that cover multiple account types, including brokerages, checking accounts, IRAs, Joint & Group, and others. The API package also provides solutions for security and compliance, physical card issuing, and other application development tools.
Many fintech companies are developing APIs to simplify the accessible development of financial services, but Rize currently stands out due to their concept of “synthetic accounts”, which facilitates multiple user account types. Ultimately, this means that users of Rize clients’ software can access a variety of financial tools within a single integrated user experience, leaving them in good stead to take their share of the market.
