Purpose Built From
The Ground Up


At Austin Capital Bank, we view community differently.

As rampant fraud targets everyone’s financial security through increasingly sophisticated attacks, we’ve built Fort Knox—a revolutionary banking platform purpose-built to prioritize security for our account holders at every level.

Our leadership includes bank founders and former advisors to the Federal Reserve and Consumer Financial Protection Bureau working alongside veterans of some of the most successful fintech ventures of the last decade.
