FTT Special: Which Challenger Bank Are You?
Hi all, Julie here.
Special edition of FTT today thanks to friend and Zodiac guru Kelsey Weaver! We were catching up a couple of weeks ago and somehow astrology came up (I had no idea she was into it), and I commented on how fun it would be to figure out which challenger bank people should be based on their sign. Well, a few days later, my inbox had a lovely message with all the info I needed. Thanks Kelsey! Bonus: tweet us which bank you’re supposed to be based on your sign, and you’ll be entered to win one of the famous FTT hats ;) Just be sure to tag us so we see it!

Aries
Aries doesn't have time or patience to mess around. They want a bank account and they want it now. Sign up in less than 2 minutes? Current it is!
Taurus
Steady & measured, with an affection for nice things, MoneyLion is the kind of challenger bank that just might lure the bull away from their existing bank thanks to their auto-investing & credit building features. Slow & steady wins the race.
Cancer
This homebody-yet-nurturing crab, is a big fan of their new GoHenry account that connects their family’s financials, all in one place.
Leo
Star of the show, freelancer Lions may prefer Lili for their influencer account, while leader lions may trust their business accounts to Bank Novo (and of course a Venmo card on the side to show off its transactions to the public.)
Gemini
Curious and adventurous - Gemini opens an account at every challenger bank it sees, just to check it out...
Together With Fintech Meetup
Before we complete our astrological journey, let's talk about Fintech Meetup. Loads of these challengers will be at the online event March 8-10. Think of Fintech Meetup as lead gen on steroids. It's facilitating 30,000+ 15-minute meetings for 4,000 participants from 2,000 organizations--you’ll get 3 months worth of meetings in just 3 half days!
All meetings are double opt-in (you both swiped right!) and 33% of 2021 participants were C-level (63% VP & above)--so you know you’ll be meeting the right people to help you grow your business. That’s why the meeting satisfaction rate was over 94% in 2021!
If you need to meet Fintechs, Processors, Networks, Large Banks, Community Banks & Credit Unions, Investors, Media and more, Fintech Meetup is the event for you.

Virgo
Ok, back into astrology. Organized & diligent, practical, this detail-oriented sign likes their One Financial account, where everything can be organized by the "pocket" it belongs in.
Libra
This justice-loving sign, may open two accounts instead of one, just to stay balanced. Everyone deserves better banking, after all. Between Chime & Varo, this sign is quite content with the fairness it receives from their challenger accounts.
Scorpio
This one isn't telling you which bank they use. Why do you want to know?
Sagittarius
This adventure lover needs a bank that can keep up with their travels, without charging all the fees...Passbook it is! Or maybe Happy Money since Sag is all about peace, love, happiness.
Capricorn
A bank is a bank is a bank. HOWEVER, Capricorn can appreciate that with Acorns, they can earn, save & invest every time they HAVE to spend money.
Aquarius
One of the first of any signs to experiment with these new “challenger bank accounts," this air sign loves social justice & innovation...Aspiration it is! And perhaps a Dave account, to support the collective.
Pisces
As symbolized by the fish facing two directions, Pisces wants to open an account where you want them to open an account -- but they have a hard time following through without second-guessing themselves.
