The story
Pool United, Inc. launched in October 2025 as a consumer fintech offering shared, multi-party deposit accounts — bringing business-banking features (multi-user access, granular spending controls, virtual/physical debit cards) to consumer use cases like roommates, classrooms, sports teams, and family pools. It operates as a fintech-on-bank model with First Internet Bank as the chartered partner and a Visa-branded debit program.
