The story
Beem launched in 2021 as a Super App for the underbanked, bundling money transfer, banking, micro-lending, insurance, and credit monitoring in a single consumer app. Its Everdraft™ product differentiated it from payday lenders by offering no-interest, no-credit-check cash advances up to $1,000 against verified incoming deposits. As fraud risk grew with scale (5M+ downloads, $100M+ disbursed), Beem layered in biometric identity verification via authID and embedded TruStage insurance to deepen monetization and retention.
