Thread Bank offers digital banking services through partnerships with small business and consumer brands, as well as vertical SaaS companies.
Through the embedded banking strategy, Thread aims to provide ‘digital branches’ embedded within partner platforms.
According to the company, the strategy has resulted in significant growth since its founding in 2021, shifting from a traditional community bank to a provider of embedded banking solutions for its customer base.
This funding follows a period of rapid growth for Thread Bank, which now manages over $2bn in partner deposits.
The bank has increased embedded deposits by threefold between January 2024 and October 2025, with an annualised growth rate of approximately 75%.
Over the past year, Thread entered several new partnerships, including with Finxact as its core banking platform and with LoanPro for boosting its lending operations.
Also, the company opened a new corporate headquarters in Nashville, Tennessee.
