I had the extreme pleasure of giving my first college lecture with my partner Jami this year. This was unique for me. I’ve given more college lectures at this point than I received in college so I always take a lot of joy from these interactions. I never found my place in college as a… Continue reading Much respect to those that ship
Same Day ACH in a API
Dwolla just brought Same Day ACH online for our customers and I'm super pleased with how it works. I wrote about this briefly in the past but looking at just how simple it is for people to build into their app just puts a big smile on my face. Existing customers sending money simply designate… Continue reading Same Day ACH in a API
Focus is good
There is an update that was put on Dwolla's website today called Focus. The post is about functionality that will no longer be supported in our products. Sunsetting features is nothing new for the company but this feels different. The company is different. The products we're building now are different. Where we're innovating is different. It feels… Continue reading Focus is good
Team

Specifically, Cybernation, Who owns the future, and But, What if We're Wrong. // You'd be right to expect this has something to do with financial services, but doesn't! A lot of the discussions… Continue reading Automation we will live to see
A real-time dashboard for bank transfers
At the end of last year, Dwolla's white label APIs started to ship and it kicked off a number of projects internally. One of those internal projects was re-thinking the way information is delivered to developers building applications that leverage Dwolla for ACH transfers. The concept for the project was to create an insightful view for developers and their business counterparts. It… Continue reading A real-time dashboard for bank transfers
Build fintech products, faster.
A key advantage to developers using Dwolla's white label APIs is that they get their businesses to market faster. There are other advantages to big established businesses but this article has precisely nothing to do with that. Very plainly speaking... Ease of access for developers with a strong market need means more experiments will be built. More… Continue reading Build fintech products, faster.
