“Can a mobile-first fundraising platform capture the school and youth-organization market by making digital fundraising as simple as a discount card scan?”
Founded in 2020, MoneyDolly operates as a fundraising platform — primarily for schools and youth organizations — enabling digital fundraisers and discount card sales via a mobile app. The company has embedded Stripe for payment processing under a PCI DSS Level 1 framework and uses Cross River Bank as a banking partner (as listed on bankingembedded.com). The platform's embedded finance footprint is narrow: payments-in (via Stripe) and banking infrastructure (Cross River), consistent with a lightweight fundraising SaaS that collects and disburses funds on behalf of organizations.
Moneydolly discloses Cross River as its banking provider, with Cross River Bank, N.A. as its sponsor bank, according to the Embedded Finance Index 2026.
Moneydolly does not disclose a bank charter of its own; its banking services are provided through Cross River Bank, N.A..
Moneydolly processes payments through Stripe.
The Embedded Finance Index 2026 maps 3 layers in Moneydolly's stack: Payments / PSP (Stripe); Banking / BaaS (Cross River); Sponsor bank (Cross River Bank, N.A.).
Moneydolly was founded by Damion Smith and is founded in 2020, headquartered in Missoula, Montana, US.
