Albert Overview

About Albert

Albert is a Los Angeles consumer-finance technology company started in 2015 by Yinon Ravid and Andrzej Baraniak. Its mobile application brings budgeting, banking, cash management, saving and investing into one consumer interface. Users can link outside accounts so the service can analyse income, bills, spending, balances and recurring subscriptions. Albert Cash, Savings and Investing are offered through regulated bank and brokerage partners rather than Albert presenting itself as a bank. The company's Genius assistant combines generative artificial intelligence with a user's financial context to recommend and execute approved actions such as transfers, bill payments and savings changes. Standard, Genius and family subscription plans provide the company's principal recurring-revenue model alongside economics from its financial products. The service is aimed at United States consumers and has grown to more than fifteen million users.

Latest Acquisitions by Albert

iBillionaire
Description
iBillionaire was a New York financial-technology company launched in April 2013. Its application and website compiled public regulatory filings to show how prominent investors allocated their listed-equity portfolios. Consumers could follow selected managers, compare holdings and create portfolios inspired by those disclosed strategies. The company also created the iBillionaire Index and licensed it for exchange-traded and structured investment products. Its mobile application reached more than 150,000 users by 2014 and subsequent reporting cited more than 200,000 downloads. iBillionaire therefore combined consumer investment information with business-to-business index and data licensing rather than operating as a conventional brokerage. Personal-finance company Albert acquired iBillionaire in 2020, after which the standalone service ceased to operate as an independent private company.
