Announcing Crew family banking
Crew raises $2.5m to change the face of banking
Today we’re announcing the launch of the Crew family-focused banking experience and $2.5m in pre-seed funding led by Kickstart Seed Fund. Pelion, Sepio, Signal Peak, Ventures, Convoi, Spacestation, Influence Ventures, and a number of strategic angels also participated in the round.
“Families deserve a beautiful, functional banking experience that recognizes the unique financial needs of families,” says Gentry Davies, Crew’s CEO. “Crew’s mission is to build the best place for families to bank.”
“While many fintechs have improved parts of the finance experience, Crew’s mission to reshape the entire banking experience for families is very compelling.” said Kat Kennedy, General Partner at Kickstart who led the deal.
Today Crew released our first in a series of banking products–savings accounts that earn 4.7% APY and checking accounts that earn 1% APY. Parents can open joint accounts for themselves and accounts for their children in less than two minutes. Banking services are provided by Bangor Savings Bank, an FDIC-insured bank and experienced player in fintech.
