Story of Robora

A leveling-of-the-field story - supporting the financial growth goals of largely overlooked small and medium businesses and individuals.

  • The Before

    Customers went to their banks for services and deposited cash, from earnings or operations, into checking accounts. These funds sat idle until needed for expenses or other uses.

  • The Uneven Field

    The cash earned little and, no matter the industry, only large corporations had access to tools to manage and optimize cash.

  • The Ally

    Our founder, Cory Frank, spent decades in banking honing his craft on cash management and deposit optimization. He realized the landscape needed to change.

  • The Vision

    It was the principle of fairness that mattered most. Cory saw a world where the evolution of banking and technology brought cash efficiency and higher earnings to all businesses and individuals.

  • The Foundation

    The idea of a more just financial world resonated with Rakesh, a veteran in financial product development. Britt, a leader in middle-market finance, was drawn to the notion of accessible banking for all.

  • The Start

    Together with Cory, they combined their expertise to champion customer-first product development.

  • The Journey

    This team went from concept to creation to implementation, attracting top talent and trusted banking partners, and launched the simplest of tools that empower all individuals and businesses to unlock higher returns on cash.

  • The Future

    Customers will go to their banks for services and deposit cash into checking accounts. But the funds no longer sit idle - now customers cash earn higher returns with Robora.
