About Method

Method is a developer-first API that makes it easy for developers to embed debt repayment on their apps. Method works with over 2,000+ financial institutions enabling payments to any type of consumer debt – including credit cards, student loans, car loans, and mortgages – all through a single API. We manage the entire process, including KYC, flow of funds, and banking partners, allowing developers to go-live in an evening.

We believe every company will become a payments company. Our mission is to simplify money movement for developers, creators, and entrepreneurs.
