Harlem-based MoCaFi raises a Series B to help people get banked (TWIF 6/10)

Harlem-based MoCaFi raises a Series B to help people get banked (TWIF 6/10)
George L. Smith State Park. Georgia, USA

Hello Fintech Friends,

We’re excited to share that Griffin, one of our Fintech Fund portfolio companies, just raised their Series A. Griffin provides banking-as-a-service for UK fintech companies and also has an FCA banking license, meaning it can provide fully-verticalized bank support to fintechs.

Our fearless podcasters Julie and Helen also hosted a great episode of Beyond Two Percent this week, featuring Saira Rahman, VP, New Investor Initiatives at Fundrise, and Jayne Sibley, Co-Founder at Sibstar, to discuss mental health.

"89% of people said that managing everyday money was a major cause of stress and worry for them. So being able to alleviate that in one way or present people with a solution that helps them and takes that away is why we're here" - Jayne Sibley
