Maximizing societal wellbeing — not shareholder value.

The Model

A bank where the model is the mission.

No donation required, no friction. Your everyday banking converts shareholder profit into structured, audited giving — automatically.

01

Open your account

Checking, savings, and a debit card — fully digital, FDIC insured through our partner bank. Competitive rates, no minimum balance.

02

Choose your causes

Designate one or more impact portfolios — climate, health, education, gender equity — or a specific vetted nonprofit.

03

Bank normally

Spend, save, and transfer exactly as you would anywhere else. We earn from interchange and net interest margin — standard banking economics.

04

Profit funds grants

Instead of going to private shareholders, 100% of profit flows contractually to our 501(c)(3) foundation. Audited and transparent.

Why Cosmopolitan Partners

A new category, not an iteration.

Not a credit union. Not a donor-advised fund. Not a typical neobank. The only model that combines frictionless banking with automatic, recurring, directed giving — at no cost to you.

Trust & Safety

Just as safe. Working harder.

Your money has the same protection as any major U.S. bank. The only difference is where the profit goes.

FDIC Insured

Deposits are insured through our partner bank, up to $250K per depositor, per category — the same protection as any major U.S. bank.

Competitive Rates

Around 4.75% APY on savings — at or above market. The redirect comes from shareholder profit, not your yield. You give up nothing.

Partner Bank Infrastructure

We launch on established, chartered banking infrastructure. Your deposits are held by our partner bank, under full regulatory oversight.

Mission-Locked by Law

The profit redirect isn't a policy or a promise — it's a legal structure. The 501(c)(3) foundation is the sole, permanent beneficiary of residual profit.

Audited & Transparent

Foundation grant-making is independently audited each year and published. You see exactly where your deposits' profits went — down to the cause.

$250K

Insured per depositor, per category — your money is protected exactly as it would be at any chartered U.S. bank.

The Impact

Small deposits. Transformative impact at scale.

Standard banking economics, redirected. Here's how everyday deposits turn into recurring, audited grants.

Of profit to the foundation
Permanently and contractually redirected to an independent 501(c)(3) — never to private shareholders.
$0
To causes, per year
From a typical consumer account, at zero cost to you. A business or nonprofit account funds roughly $981 a year.

To the foundation, pilot year
From an early cohort of around 1,400 accounts — independently audited and fully transparent.
$0M+
In annual grants at scale
As the bank grows past 50,000 accounts, grants compound automatically alongside deposits.

Figures are modeled estimates based on standard interchange and net-interest-margin economics. Actual grants depend on deposits and account mix.

You choose the causes. An independent board directs the grants. And you can watch it happen in real time.

FAQ

Questions, answered.

Is my money safe?

Yes. Deposits are insured through our partner bank, up to $250,000 per depositor, per category — the same FDIC protection as any major U.S. bank. Your money is held at an established, chartered bank under full regulatory oversight.

How do you make money?

Through standard banking economics — interchange on debit spending and net interest margin on deposits, the same way most banks earn. The difference is structural: instead of going to private shareholders, 100% of profit flows to an independent 501(c)(3) foundation.

Is it really free? Do I earn a lower rate?

There's no extra cost to you, and we expect to offer a competitive savings rate (targeting around 4.75% APY). The giving comes out of shareholder profit, not your yield — so you don't give anything up to make an impact.

How do I know the profit really reaches good causes?

It isn't a promise — it's a legal structure. The 501(c)(3) foundation is the sole, permanent beneficiary of residual profit. Grant-making is independently audited each year, and a live dashboard shows where the money goes, down to the cause.

Who decides which organizations get funded?

You do, at the category level — you choose the impact portfolios your share supports. Within those categories, an independent foundation board allocates grants to vetted, eligible organizations, at arm's length from the bank.

When can I open an account?

The waitlist is open now. We expect to onboard our first customers in mid-2027, following the close of our founding round. Joining the waitlist puts you first in line and carries no commitment.

Who can join, and what accounts will you offer?

At launch, accounts will be available to U.S. residents 18 and older, with business and nonprofit accounts as well. The first products are fully digital checking, savings, and a debit card.
