About
We offer a free US FDIC Insured Checking account, Free Credit Card (no interest rate, collateral, fees), Free AT&T SIM Card shipped to home with 40%+ cheaper plans than retail, and save thousands of dollars in remittances to our customers - all by opening a free Swadesh Account.
We enable new to America expats become "American" in the eyes of the US Financial system.
We're starting by serving the 150,000+ Indian expats migrating to the US each year.
We have a comprehensive solution that covers banking, credit building, communication, remittance, as well as value-add services such as insurance, housing etc. along with all the standard bells and whistles of neobanks.
