The announcement comes after Avant acquired fintech company Zero Financial and its neo-banking unit Level.

Avant claims that it has offered $7.5bn in loans and issued more than 800,000 credit cards to two million customers since its inception in 2012.

It leverages technology and analytics to provide a full ecosystem of digital banking products.

Avant’s banking and credit services are provided through its partners and FDIC members Evolve Bank & Trust and WebBank.

Earlier, another US-based firm Zil Money launched an all-in-one cloud banking digital solution, called ZilBank.
