About
We provide US based USD deposit accounts that sit with a licensed banking partner. Elevate's FDIC-insured USD accounts offer ACH, wire inbound and outbound payments, and a free Mastercard debit card. Our regional payout partners enable our users to send their money back home at very low cost. We're targetting non-US residents in emerging markets who struggle to get paid in USD.
