“Can a fintech platform built on government-contracted cash disbursement and mobile banking become the infrastructure layer for municipal financial inclusion programs?”
Founded in 2015 as a mobile consumer financial platform targeting thin-file and underserved Americans with credit-building and affordable banking products. Over time pivoted to a B2G (business-to-government) model, becoming a turnkey digital banking infrastructure provider for municipalities and philanthropic organizations to distribute guaranteed basic income, emergency rental assistance, and cash assistance payments. This government-program revenue concentration proved fatal: in early 2026, MoCaFi lost a major government program and filed for Chapter 7 bankruptcy, unable to find a credible path forward.
