Aven
A fintech that compresses the home equity line of credit into a Visa card, partnering with Coastal Community Bank to put HELOC pricing behind everyday swipes. One core product, the Home Equity Visa, pairs 2% cash back with APRs roughly half of unsecured cards. The catch is structural: the card is secured by a lien on your home.
