June 8, 2023, New York – Finder today announced that it has acquired Finch, a New York based wealth management platform that lets customers earn and invest with cash back.
Finch was the brainchild of Neel Ganu and Maya Nijhawan. The two US-based Australian founders launched Finch in 2019 to help everyday people unlock the benefits of investing, develop healthy financial habits, and take steps towards financial freedom.
Finder’s Global CEO Frank Restuccia said adding Finch to the Finder group is a great addition.
“Finder and Finch share a mission to help people save and invest their money better.”
“We’re excited to welcome Neel to the Finder crew and wish Maya all the best for her next endeavor outside of Finder”.
“Finch made an impact in a short period of time. We’re excited to work together and bring Neel’s wealth of experience into the Finder Group,” Restuccia said.
Ganu said he is looking forward to developing innovative products to help Finder’s users make better financial decisions.
“Our research showed that the main reasons people hold back from investing is because they either don’t have enough money to invest and/or don’t know how to get started. We built a way for customers to transform their everyday spending into investing.”
The Finch acquisition closed on April 26, 2023.
