Our mission is to create a fairer financial system, and we see Pinwheel as the way innovators build that fairness for everyone. We’re the income layer giving builders the tools to fix what’s broken. By focusing on real consumer challenges and enabling companies with a reliable platform, we’re shaping a new system that makes room for everyone.
It’s our people that make Pinwheel turn. Building the future of finance takes a dedicated team of collaborators, hurdlers, planners, bold types, and challengers — and that’s exactly who we are.
