Our take
Pinwheel builds an API that helps Neobanks access and modify their customers' payroll services. It's primarily focused on enabling easy direct-deposit switches in order to promote a fairer financial system for all.
Pinwheel is laser-focused on perfecting UX and product integration in this area, which has won the company coverage of over 70% of paid Americans, and nearly half of all Neobank direct-deposit switches. This secure market position will help it comfortably expand its client services into other API offerings like income verification.
As the US begins to competitively adopt the Open Banking methods already popular in the EU, Pinwheel has made some strategic partnerships, including Lumin Digital and Bankjoy. These collaborations are driving increased account activation and deposit growth for financial institutions, positioning Pinwheel as a key player in Open Banking methods.
