Our Story
Bank on your platform
Embedded finance is hard. We aspire to remove tech and operational barriers so software providers can focus on what they do best.
“We help clients re-invest into their software with new features. You could say we help them ‘make bank’ with the security and stability of a bank.”
Tom Bell, CEO, Maast
Backstory
Headquartered in Atlanta, Maast was founded in 2022 by a group of fintech juggernauts with a singular goal – to make true embedded finance attainable.
Maast offers payments, banking, lending and more as features in software provider’s platforms under a single powerful offering. We are backed by Synovus Bank, member FDIC and arguably the Southeast’s most entrepreneurial, reputable, and financially stable bank with a heritage of innovation and security.
