Argyle is a fast-growing, remote-first Series C startup solving a consumer finance efficiency problem with an $11bn opportunity

Consumer financial services hinge on verifying income and employment, but methods for obtaining and verifying that data are either expensive, labor-intensive, opaque, high friction, or unreliable (often, many of these things at once). Enter Argyle. We save financial institutions time and money by providing them with real-time access to income and employment data, so they can automate critical workflows, reduce risks, and provide consumers with exceptional experiences. And we do it all through direct payroll connectivity.

Since 2018, we have brought together the brightest minds in the game to build the most trusted network of consumer-permissioned connections between payroll processors and financial institutions. We’re building the universal network for income and employment data to modernize financial services in ways that improve business efficiencies and transform consumer access.

Our mission is to give consumers the means to exercise ownership over their income, employment, and identity data to create a more equal, efficient, and effective financial system for everybody.
