Our story
Ava started with three friends sitting around a dinner table. As first generation immigrants, we found ourselves looking back on the tough years we spent trying to make sense of the financial system here. We remembered what it felt like to be denied an apartment because we didn't have a credit score, while carrying high-interest credit card debt, and loans that felt impossible to pay off. It felt like the system was set up to punish people like us, while making banks and institutions richer. That night at the dinner table, Ava was born. We started Ava out of a belief that money should be simple, transparent, and actually work for the people using it.
