“Can a fiduciary-first retirement advisory platform own the full retiree financial lifecycle — planning, investing, banking, and daily spending — in a single product?”
Founded in 2019 as a digital retirement advisory platform for Americans aged 50+, Retirable started with fee-based certified financial planning and evolved into a holistic retirement OS combining advisory services, managed investing, and embedded banking. The platform introduced a debit card and high-yield spending account (backed by Blue Ridge Bank) to let retirees spend directly from their savings, with monthly 'Safe-To-Spend' allowances set by their fiduciary advisor. The embedded finance layer — banking, card issuing via Blue Ridge Bank, and custody/investing via Altruist — distinguishes Retirable from pure-advisory robo platforms.
