“Can a fintech platform built for unbanked Spanish-speaking immigrants evolve into the comprehensive financial OS for U.S. solopreneurs and micro-business owners?”
Maza launched in 2021 as a neobank for undocumented and Spanish-speaking immigrants, focused on ITIN procurement, bank accounts, and debit cards for those without Social Security Numbers. Over time, the company recognized that a significant share of its users were solopreneurs and small business owners, prompting a pivot toward a broader financial platform offering LLC formation, business expense tracking, and AI-powered invoicing. By 2024–2025, this repositioning as a solopreneur finance platform made Maza an attractive acquisition target for Flex, which acquired it for $40M in April 2025 and rebranded it as Flex Consumer.
Maza discloses Blue Ridge Bank as its banking provider, according to the Embedded Finance Index 2026.
Maza does not disclose a bank charter of its own; its banking services are provided through Blue Ridge Bank.
