Case Study: Moves brings no-fee banking and instant cash advances for gig workers with Unit's banking-as-a-service

How Unit Helped Moves Improve the Collective Financial Health of Gig Workers

Moves is a fintech helping gig workers improve their financial health by offering banking tailored to independent earners. As a Canadian company entering the US market, Moves faced technical and regulatory hurdles and needed a banking partner to offer deposit accounts, debit cards, and cash advances at scale—so they partnered with Unit and its banking-as-a-service platform.

Unit provided a turnkey banking solution—its API, off-the-shelf compliance, and managed banking relationship—enabling Moves to quickly and cost‑effectively launch no‑fee Moves Spending Accounts, physical debit cards, instant cash-advance funding, and wage deposits from gig platforms. By building on Unit, Moves rolled out full-feature checking and instant funding capabilities while avoiding the time and expense of building compliance and bank relationships in-house.
