COMPANY · ABOUT
Maviv started as a frustration: there's no shortage of digital banks in America, but almost none of them feel built for people who take their money seriously. We're trying to fix that.
OUR STORY
For most of the past decade, US digital banking has been a race to the bottom. Free checking accounts, no minimums, no fees — but also no real product, no real care, and no real reward for the people doing the spending.
Meanwhile, the people we're building Maviv for — engineers, designers, doctors, lawyers, founders, professionals in their thirties and forties with real careers and real balances — have been quietly underserved. Their banks treat them like they treat everyone else: a deposit account and a debit card and a vague promise that things will be "fast" and "easy."
We think these customers deserve better. They deserve a bank that's beautifully designed, ruthlessly secure, deeply compliant, and that actually rewards them for using it. Not with points. Not with miles. With real money, applied to the real things they buy.
That's what we're building. Carefully, in private, with people who've spent years inside the institutions that define modern finance and security. We're taking our time because the kind of bank we want to build is the kind of bank you can only build once — so it has to be right the first time.
THE TEAM
The people building Maviv have spent years inside the institutions that define modern finance, media, and security. Here's where they came from.
BANKING
Years inside the largest US bank by assets. They know how money actually moves at institutional scale, and how the regulators look at the systems that move it.
FINTECH
Building consumer fintech products inside one of the most regulated and scrutinized companies in the industry. We learned what it takes to ship in a hostile regulatory environment without breaking trust.
SECURITY
Cloud forensics and incident response at one of the most respected names in cybersecurity. The kind of background that means we know exactly what failure looks like — so we can build to avoid it.
FINANCIAL MEDIA
Building data and software products at the company that defines how financial professionals see the world. Deep familiarity with the data, the rhythm, and the standards of institutional finance.
FINANCIAL MEDIA
Building digital products at the most respected financial newspaper in the world. The discipline of journalism applied to product — every claim sourced, every number checked, every word chosen carefully.
AND MORE
Today, all of this experience is being applied to one thing: building a US digital bank that takes its customers — and its compliance obligations — as seriously as the institutions we came from.
WHAT WE BELIEVE
01
Every regulation we follow is a feature for our customers — it's how they know their money is safe and their bank is supervised. We don't apologize for taking compliance seriously. It's the whole point.
02
Not in points. Not in miles. Not in expiring "perks." In real money, applied to real purchases. Our customers are sending us their paychecks. The least we can do is give some of it back.
03
There's a place for excitement in financial products. There's also a place for restraint, calm, and care. We're building for the second category. Beautiful design, careful product, no gimmicks, no theatrics — and absolutely no slot machines.
04
Maviv is being built carefully, in private, with the patience that a customer-handling banking product demands. We're not trying to be the fastest. We're trying to be the right one. Our customers will trust us with their money — that trust is earned slowly and lost in seconds.
WHAT'S NEXT
Maviv is opening to a small group of customers later this year. Join the waitlist and we'll let you know when accounts are available.
