Sutton Bank is a 147-year-old community bank in Attica, Ohio that quietly became one of the most important sponsor banks in US fintech. It launched prepaid card issuing in 2002 through what is now the Sutton Payments Division and, by the 2010s, was issuing the cards behind Cash App, Robinhood, Monzo US and dozens of other fintech programs. Alongside this national BaaS business, it continues to operate a traditional Ohio community bank offering deposits, mortgages, ag lending and small-business loans.
