The story

Founded in 2016 as Moneydue, Inc., the company rebranded to Honeydue and launched a couples-focused money management app allowing partners to share bank account visibility, comment on transactions, and coordinate bill payments. The app relied on open banking / account aggregation (linked via The Bancorp Bank for the banking layer) to surface read-only financial data for both partners. Honeydue was ultimately acquired by Mission Lane, a credit card company serving underbanked consumers, likely as a distribution and engagement asset for Mission Lane's broader consumer finance ambitions.
