Invest in Swell Financial

*Update: Watch Swell's Webcast for Wefunder Investors.  Watch now. 

It’s no secret that banking is broken for most Americans. Wealthy customers get access to the best loans, investments, & services, while regular, hard-working customers are ignored.

Last year the Big Four banks recorded record profits of nearly $124 billion, but 98% of people we surveyed said that their banks do nothing to get them ahead financially.(1)

You give your bank your hard-earned money… but what does your bank do to help YOU get ahead?

Swell was founded to bring the best of banking — the smartest money moves — to everyone.(2) The Swell app is based on 3 simple, time-tested wealth-building principles:

1. Spend less than you make

2. Minimize debt (except for your home)

3. Own assets that grow in value (compound) over time

Swell is built for Strivers BY Strivers. We’ve already built a growing community of nearly 4,000 Strivers—working Americans who want to build wealth and make the same money moves as the rich.(3)

Every member of our team is part of the Swell community.

Our tagline is, “Let’s Make Bank Together” and we mean it, both literally (we’re building something to replace traditional banks) and figuratively (we’re focused on making money and building wealth together).

The Swell App

Like traditional bank accounts, the Swell Cash bank account is FDIC insured through Swell’s sponsor bank, Central Pacific Bank (CPB has over $7 billion in assets and its parent company, Central Pacific Financial Corp., is publicly traded – NYSE:CPF).(4)

But Swell isn’t a bank—we do things differently and start with our customers' needs. The Swell app is an integrated financial app with products designed to work together:

Swell Credit can provide a better option for the 25 million consumers who are credit-constrained or pay a higher rate on their credit cards.(7)

Swell Compound is designed to help consumers build wealth by offering access to private market real estate deals—investments that normally require a $100,000+ minimum investment—with as little as $1,000.(8)

And Swell Cash ties everything together, helping consumers control spend and more.

The Swell app is live in app stores but we’re rolling Swell Cash and Swell Credit by invitation only until the official public launch in 2022.(9)

Investors in Swell will get early access plus special perks (coming soon 🤫).

The Swell Leadership Team

Consumer banking is a trillion dollar industry with plenty of opportunities for new competitors. But it’s a difficult industry to disrupt, because it’s complicated and highly regulated. Swell’s executive team and Board of Directors has decades of experience in consumer financial services and proven track records. Many of Swell’s executive leaders and board members have worked together previously to build successful companies in financial services.

Our Founder, Kevin Dahlstrom, is a serial entrepreneur and personal finance influencer with 17 years experience across both startups & multi-billion public companies.

Why Invest in Swell?

Community is at the core of Swell. We are building Swell with our community of Strivers and we encourage every customer to be an owner, whether they invest $500 or $100,000. Why? Because owners will be our best customers—and together can influence Swell’s future as a company.

Swell is reimagining banking and turning traditional banking on its head and in previous ventures the Swell Executive Team and Board of Directors have successfully acquired over 1 million customers using the same marketing tactics Swell will utilize.

Swell moves fast — since the company was formed less than a year ago, we have:

• Hired one of the best teams in the industry
• Signed strategic partnerships that create a competitive advantage
• Built a Founding Member community of nearly 4,000 Strivers.
• Raised $10 million from strategic partners — including the parent company of Swell’s bank sponsor, Central Pacific Bank
• Developed the Swell App and launched Swell Cash and Swell Credit(4)
• Ran a successful pilot for Swell Compound(8)
