MoneyStream Launches to Public, Receives $3.2 Million in Funding

MoneyStream Launches to Public, Receives $3.2 Million in Funding

iPhoneUpcomingMoneyStream not only launched its bill pay-focused PFM platform in the U.S. today, but also received its first round of funding.

The $3.2 million round was led by 60-year-old H&R Block, and marks only the second time the tax and accounting company has invested in a startup. H&R Block’s first investment was in 2011 when it furnished an undisclosed amount to Wipit, which demonstrated its Boost Mobile Wallet at FinovateSpring last year.

Bruno Bowden and Kim Polese also contributed to MoneyStream’s Series A round.

MoneyStream helps consumers avoid late payments and overdraft fees by providing cash- and bill-management tools enabling them to look ahead and make financial predictions. The startup analyzes historical account activity to predict their future balance and alert them if they could come up short. In addition to offering a single place to view all bills, the free service also enables users to pay bills directly from MoneyStream’s platform.

Founded in 2012, the company debuted at FinovateFall 2014 in New York. Mike Bertrand is CEO.

MoneyStream debuted its technology that learns and predicts a user’s spending pattern:

“MoneyStream sits in between other financial institutions, consolidators, and aggregators, using patent pending technology to manage the complex network of money and creating a direct relationship with the consumer. 
In addition, MoneyStream’s smart technology uses learning algorithms to detect and predict a user’s spending patterns and do a significant part of the user setup for them, just as a trusted personal financial assistant would do. The free service lets users view and pay bills, detects upcoming money issues, and provides visibility to a future cash flow, with little or no effort on the user’s part.”
