Unit
Banking, cards, and lending features you can build directly into your app, offered as either a fast "managed" package or a fully custom API, for companies that want financial features without becoming a bank.

Description
Plenty of software products would benefit from letting users hold a balance, get a payment card, or move money without leaving the app — payroll platforms, gig-economy apps, expense tools — but building that from scratch means bank partnerships, compliance, and money-movement infrastructure most teams shouldn't build themselves. Unit is an embedded finance platform providing APIs for account and wallet management, branded card issuance, money movement (ACH, wire, check, real-time transfers), and lending/capital products.
It offers two deployment paths depending on how much control a company wants: "Ready-to-Launch," a managed option that can go live with close to a single line of code for common use cases, or a fully custom API integration for teams that need more flexibility. The company reports processing over $100 billion in annual transaction volume across 15 million+ daily API calls, serving 2 million+ end users, spanning use cases from consumer-facing apps to gig-economy and expense-management platforms. As with most banking-as-a-service platforms, there's no public pricing page — it's a demo-and-quote sales process.
💬 Our review
The short version: Unit is a proven, high-scale embedded finance platform with a notably fast on-ramp option (Ready-to-Launch) for companies that don't need deep customization — a solid pick if speed to market matters more than fine-grained control.
Its main differentiator against Synctera or Treasury Prime is that dual deployment model: most banking-as-a-service platforms make you choose custom API integration from day one, while Unit's managed option lets a team ship a basic embedded-banking feature quickly and move to the custom API later if needed. That flexibility doesn't fix the category-wide problem of pricing opacity — there's no public rate card, and the pricing page itself doesn't exist publicly, so budgeting requires a sales conversation regardless of which path you pick. For a company that wants to ship an embedded banking feature fast without committing to full custom integration upfront, Unit's managed option is a genuine differentiator worth evaluating against Synctera and Treasury Prime.
