The story
Founded in 2020, Percapita positioned itself as a financial wellness platform for hourly workers and underserved populations, using a BaaS model (Sutton Bank) to offer FDIC-insured accounts without being a bank itself. The company expanded beyond basic banking to layer in earned wage access (via Immediate), international remittances (via Brightwell), and embedded tax tools (via April), evolving from a simple neobank into a more comprehensive financial wellness stack for employer-distributed benefits.
