FinWise describes a model that combines banking services with strategic-platform relationships. Its bank provides regulated account and lending services, while partners may supply customer-facing technology, marketing or other functions.
The bank-partner model brings together loan origination, program oversight, funding, servicing and customer support. Legal responsibilities remain with each party under its own contracts and applicable law.
