Unit

A US banking-as-a-service platform for software companies, with accounts, payments, cards and credit from partner banks.

Unit sells APIs, a dashboard and white-label interfaces that let software companies offer bank accounts, wallets, payments, cards and credit to their own customers. The regulated products come from Unit’s partner banks, which Unit’s own announcements name as Thread Bank, Lincoln Savings Bank and i3 Bank. Unit also sells technology and managed services to the banks behind these programs, and ready-made “Ready-to-Launch” products for banking, bill pay and capital. Its terms say the platform is designed for use in the United States. Unit does not publish pricing.
