Fispoke
Fispoke is a Florida-based fintech that gives independent financial advisors the private-banking toolkit normally reserved for the biggest institutions - without the advisor having to become a bank. Its platform embeds high-yield cash accounts, securities-backed loans, mortgages, advisor-branded credit cards, and business financing into the software advisors already use, handling the infrastructure, compliance, and execution behind the scenes. Founded in 2023 by Robert Clare and led by a bench of former wealth and banking executives, Fispoke raised over $2 million in seed capital and has partnered with First Rate and Wealthbox to bridge the long-standing gap between wealth management and banking.
Robert Clare
Robert (Bob) Clare is the founder, CEO and board chairman of Fispoke, a wealth-infrastructure startup he co-founded in 2023 with Nathan Berk. Fispoke gives independent financial advisors a white-labeled private banking layer - cash, credit, securities-based loans and mortgages - traditionally locked inside wirehouses and private banks. A Georgetown MBA, Clare spent years in operating and consulting roles at Bank of America, Cognizant and JDX Consulting before deciding the advisor channel needed banking tools of its own. Fispoke has raised roughly $5.45M and signed partnerships with Broadridge, Bell Bank, Wealthbox and Sage Home Loans.
