Who We Are


We believe the future of banking is digital, connected, contextual, and customer-first. 

We dreamed of a better way of banking for business and their busy owners, so we built Thread Bank. Our digital-first solutions combine the best-in-class technology with a streamlined customer experience to reduce the time, effort, and mental energy required to do everyday business and personal banking. 


Next, we created an easy-to-implement, easy to sell, embedded banking solution. It empowers business technology platforms to offer the same simplified, secure, small business banking experience we offer to our customers. These partners use our embedded banking to diversify and strengthen relationships with their customers, who in turn experience digital banking provided by people they trust. 


And we didn’t stop there. 


We are continually innovating and investing in building our financial ecosystem. Through meticulously selected partnerships, we utilize our technology platform and charter to empower other banks, credit unions, and FinTechs to integrate fully compliant financial solutions into their customer experience without the hassle of building them. 


Connected, together, we thrive. 


Thread Bank is a fast-growing financial technology enabled community bank. We are the bridge between community banking and best-in-class financial technology. Our mission is to provide individuals and businesses the value of a community bank delivered to customers where they are with intuitive technology.


Our culture reflects the innovation and growth of a fintech coupled with the stability of a bank. We are family friendly. We collaborate across functionally to deliver results. We work hard with flexibility and individual autonomy. We provide excellent benefits including health insurance and 401k with company match.


What We Are Looking For


We are looking for people who thrive in a fast-paced, growth environment while remaining within regulatory boundaries. Thread Bank provides a unique opportunity to be a part of a high growth, cutting edge, fintech startup within the stable and profitable banking industry. This is an excellent opportunity for a professional looking to advance their career as the company grows.
