Compliance Officer

Who We Are

We believe the future of banking is digital, connected, contextual, and customer-first.

We dreamed of a better way of banking for businesses and their busy owners, so we built Thread Bank. Our digital-first solutions combine best-in-class technology with a streamlined customer experience to reduce the time, effort, and mental energy required to do everyday business and personal banking.

Next, we created an easy-to-implement, easy to sell, embedded banking solution. It empowers business technology platforms to offer the same simplified, secure, small business banking experience we offer our customers. These partners use our embedded banking to diversify and strengthen relationships with their customers, who in turn experience digital banking provided by people they trust.

And we didn’t stop there.

We are continually innovating and investing in building our financial ecosystem. Through meticulously selected partnerships, we utilize our technology platform and charter to empower other banks, credit unions, and Fintechs to integrate fully compliant financial solutions into their customer experience without the hassle of building them.

Connected, together, we thrive.
