Our take

Klover, a subsidiary of Attain, offers users interest free cash advances as well as a growing range of financial services and budgeting tools on its free-to-use app. Rather than charging users a fee, Klover leverages their bank transaction data to tailor targeted advertising.

It’s worth keeping in mind that while Klover essentially pays users for their data, it does not share or sell personal information – a key factor in its model.

With heavy investment from Mercato Partners and the hiring of former Pinterest VP of Sales and Partnerships Meredith Guerriero, Klover is growing impressively, and has ambitions to one day become a full service online bank.
