Tillwell (sample) is a small team in Springfield making a money app for people who want to see where every dollar goes.
It started with a jar of coins
Our founder kept a jar on her studio desk for loose change and was surprised, every year, by how full it got (sample). The app does the same thing with card payments: the change from each one is kept, in plain sight.

A money app, with a bank behind it
Tillwell (sample) is a money app, not a bank. Your account and card are provided by our partner bank, Fenlow Bank (sample), and the money in it is protected by the national deposit insurance scheme up to the legal limit.
We design the app, run support and look after your data. The partner bank holds the deposits, issues the card and is supervised by the banking regulator (sample).
The partner bank’s details are in your account terms in the app.
Who makes the app
Most of us also answer support chats one afternoon a week, so we hear what is not working.
