Our take
Spiral is a challenger bank that, alongside offering no-fee and no-minimum deposit checking and savings accounts, accommodates easy charitable donations. It does this by automatically taking a percentage of customers' incoming funds to charities of their choice.
More than 50% of Americans donate to charity, totaling almost $500 million annually. Spiral is aiming to increase this by making it much easier for people to do so, while also matching donations made by its customers.
With the rise of ethically conscious consumerism, it’s a good time for a model like Spiral’s to take its place in the market. The company was co-founded by a former JP Morgan Managing Director and a serial Chief Marketing Officer with experience from Skype and Check Inc, suggesting that it has the industry knowledge and the scope for growth in the public consciousness, to go far.
