The story

Founded in 2020 as Twic, Inc., the company built a digital wallet for discretionary employee benefits — helping HR teams select vendors, process reimbursements, and monitor plan usage. In early 2022, it rebranded to Forma to reflect a broader positioning as a full lifestyle spending account (LSA) and flexible benefits platform. The company operates as Twic, Inc. DBA Forma in its legal agreements. Forma's embedded finance angle centers on the treasury and ledger infrastructure needed to hold and disburse employer-funded benefit wallets at scale.
