Rightfoot

Rightfoot is a San Francisco fintech that gives lenders real-time, credential-less financial data - live bank and debit-card balances retrieved without asking borrowers to hand over bank logins. Its API and portal let lenders and collections teams verify account ownership, confirm a borrower can actually pay, and time outreach to when money is in the account, cutting failed payments and defaults. Founded in 2016 and originally an employer-enabled student-debt repayment tool, the company pivoted to permissioned data infrastructure and now serves consumer lenders, business lenders, and collections agencies.
