About Standard Treasury

Standard Treasury helps bank harness the power of developers and developer ecosystems. We are building white-labeled and co-branded RESTful API platforms for commercial banks (e.g., api.[bank].com, developers.[bank].com, and appstore.[bank].com). Our platforms will enable bank customers to automate their financial back offices, as well as for app developers to integrate financial information and products directly into their apps in novel ways never before possible.

Last year, bank technology vendors made over $63 billion a year selling bank software. Most of our competitors were spun out of banks decades ago. We bring the Silicon Valley mindset of creativity, great technology, and willingness to challenge the status quo to this massive industry. A modern, technology-forward, API-driven approach can consume much of the market.

We are a small team based in San Francisco and are looking for the right people to join us. Our team has previously worked at Facebook, Stripe, Disqus, Microsoft, and more. We are fortunate to be backed by Y Combinator, several large venture firms, and many well-known angel investors in our quest to remake financial technology.
