United States onlySpinwheel is on a mission to reinvent how consumers manage credit, make lending work for them, and move faster than anyone thinks is reasonable.
We are an API platform powering modern consumer finance — simplifying how consumers and the companies who serve them access and leverage real-time credit data. With just a phone number and date of birth, financial innovators can access real-time, consumer-permissioned credit data, understand liability attributes, and embed payments. Companies like NerdWallet, Monarch Money, and some of the largest lenders in the U.S. use Spinwheel to build seamless credit and debt management experiences that drive higher conversion, enable faster and more accurate approvals, and significantly reduce payoff times.
Since 2023, we’re seen usage more than tripled year over year and 100M+ API calls from Enterprise customers like Lending Club, Monarch, Experian, etc. After closing our $30M Series A, Spinwheel is accelerating again and looking for our first ever People hire. Reporting into SVP, Finance & People, this role be crucial in helping us build out the People foundation across Performance, Compensation, Learning & Development, and Culture.
