The story

Founded in 2020 as a consumer virtual-card platform (TabTabApp) for splitting expenses among teens and sneaker resellers, Slash pivoted to SMB business banking after its primary customer base collapsed when Yeezy fell apart in 2022. The company rebuilt around corporate cards, high-yield accounts, and working capital for commerce-focused businesses, reaching 10,000+ customers by 2026. Most recently, Slash extended its platform into stablecoin-powered global USD accounts and AI-driven bill pay, positioning itself as a full financial OS for modern businesses — particularly international and crypto-native SMBs.
