The story

Moven launched in 2011 as one of the first mobile-first challenger banks in the US under Brett King, targeting consumers with a real-time spending and financial wellness app. After years of direct-to-consumer operations, Moven pivoted in 2019 to a pure B2B model, shutting its consumer app and repositioning as a white-label BaaS and financial wellness platform for banks, credit unions, and fintech challengers. The company now offers an API-driven, modular 'bank-in-a-box' platform with a US patent on financial wellness technology, serving partners such as TipHaus, stcPay, and ApexEdge.
