Path origin

- the question **100%**

Its answer

**rho.co** is a fintech platform that provides comprehensive financial management services for growing businesses. Here's what it does and who it serves:

### What It Does

Rho consolidates multiple financial functions into one unified platform:

- **Business Banking**: Checking accounts, savings accounts, and treasury services
- **Spend Management**: Corporate cards (up to 2% cashback), expense management, bill pay
- **Back Office Automation**: Month-end close automation, business incorporation, API access
- **Working Capital**: Financing and cash management solutions

All services operate on a fee-free model with no per-seat charges or subscription costs.

### Who It's For

Rho is designed for **startups and scale-ups** at various growth stages—from pre-incorporation through enterprise-level operations (up to 10,000+ employees). The platform is built to "scale with you" as your company grows, offering everything from day-zero banking needs through complex treasury management.

The company is a fintech (not a bank itself), with banking services provided through Webster Bank (a Santander division). It was founded in 2018 and is based in New York.
