"With Current’s recent report of 100% year-over-year growth, we sift through the sands of time to unpack how the firm has evolved from its first product for teens to offering full financial solutions for everyone. While tracking Current’s progress through the years, it becomes clear that the firm’s execs, CEO Stuart Sopp and CTO Trevor Marshall have a play-by-play strategy to growth: Each addition to Current’s product mix creates learnings that echo into the firm’s future. " Thanks to Tearsheet for telling our story from how the early decisions and plan at Current led us to where we are today. #fintech #tech

Stuart Sopp, CEO of Current, recently joined us on our flagship Tearsheet Podcast. It's not easy for banks to provide liquidity to today's average American. So, they've pulled back. Current developed its own form of cash flow underwriting to support its new Paycheck Advance product. It's working, too. "We’re experiencing probably top decile growth right now, when you look at our Paycheck Advance product really working synergistically with that Build Card. So it’s been busy the last year. We’ve been iterating most of this year, and really sort of making sure everything works perfectly, and that we have great product experiences, and that the customers are happy," Sopp said.

At Current, our focus has always been building products that solve real needs for our members, and can also evolve with them. Having true product-market fit became more important than ever during the 'fintech winter', and it allowed us to not only successfully adapt to industry changes, but to thrive. Our CEO and co-founder Stuart Sopp breaks it all down with Zack Miller on the latest episode of the Tearsheet podcast, including building a product ecosystem that all works together, what's ahead for Current's future as a company and how we've achieved 100% growth. Give it a listen! #fintech #tech

We're honored to be recognized and included on CNBC's World's Top 250 Fintech Companies for the second straight year. It's been quite a year at Current. We have always been focused on providing our members access to their money when they need it and we are proud to have integrated a first-of-its-kind secured charge card into a core aspect of the Current spending experience, which allows our members to build their credit histories with a single balance to view across credit and debit on Current's platform and our Paycheck Advance product, which provides members needed access to a portion of their paychecks in advance of their direct deposits without any mandatory fees. From building credit to access to liquidity and much more, all the products and services we continue to build and provide are all to serve our mission to enable better financial outcomes for our members. #fintech #tech #worldstopfintechs

We have always believed owning our own core banking technology was critical to building differentiated products and putting us in firm control of our innovation and member experience. As we have continued to build its capabilities over the last nine years, few stand out more than our move to Visa DPS Forward in October 2022, to do our own processing directly with the card network moving forward, and which we did via a nearly seamless live BIN migration of millions of accounts. It was the result of over 16 months of meticulous planning and we were one of the first clients to go live with a full suite of solutions running at scale with Visa DPS Forward. How did this integration and partnership come about? Why were API capabilities so important in selecting Visa DPS Forward as a solution? Read more in a case study from Datos Insights, detailing our 'leap forward' with Visa DPS Forward, why owning our own core platform has been so important in its success, and the opportunities we see ahead to scale our partnership. #fintech #tech #corebanking #innovation
